According to recent studies, it is estimated that approximately 2.8% of adults in the United States have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder at some point in their lives. This translates to millions of individuals grappling with the challenges posed by this condition. Bipolar disorder can affect people from all walks of life, regardless of age, gender, or socioeconomic status.

Caring for Your Own Needs
You must also remember to take care of yourself:
Knowing When to Leave
Walking away from a marriage can be a difficult choice. It might feel like the time to leave if:
The relationship feels consistently unhealthy.
You are constantly taxed, burnt out, or unable to care for your own needs.
You feel unsafe.
Alternately, the partner with bipolar disorder may be the one to decide the relationship is not beneficial for their well-being anymore. Some signs might be:
They feel consistently judged or stigmatized by their partner.
They feel their spouse doesn’t support them.
The relationship feels unsafe (emotionally, physically, etc.).
When to Talk About Divorce
Sometimes a marriage doesn’t work, and partners exhaust options that might help them reconcile. In such cases, the partners may want to consider divorce as an option.
