Depression Treatment Care

Question by TeQuest: Re-ask, How destructive can an adult suffering manic-depression be to others?
What I would like to know is, how destructive can this behavior become for others, worst case scenario?

Best answer:

Answer by The Fleabag
I suppose the behaviour could compell someone to kill the person with the disorder, worst case scenario of course. I have bipolar (manic depression) and I know that if the people in my life are not educated not only about the disorder but about how I react and behave because of it, then I tend to be far too large a burdon emotionally for others to handle.

Question by Dark Desire.: What makes a person suffering from depression push their loved ones away?
How strong can depression be? How harmful is it? For instance, does depression make your bf/gf want to break up with you over a stupid reason especially when they’re the one suffering depression? What makes them want to push you away and be alone? What makes them want to ignore you to consult their own feelings? Do they realize what they’re doing especially they’re the one in pain?

some family members may not understand how to deal w/ depression….i think listening and being of comfort is one of the greatest suggestions…and if a b/f or g/f can’t deal w/ it ..they were long looking for a way out..if they loved that person , why would you want to lose him or her.

She has progressively become worse over the last 2 years since the baby was born. Her mum has been suffering from manic depression for the past 20 years or so. Do u think it could be hereditary? I am distraught. She has taken herself and the baby to her mother’s who is a manic depressive herself. How is that supposed to help with her post natal depression? My wife doesnt want to admit that she’s been having a problem and she has refused repetedly to go and see somebody with me or without me. She took my whole life away from me. We have just bought a house together and she left me on my own after 4.5 years together. She has also been distant from me sexually for more than a year now and every time I would try to make up with her she would tell me that I was doing it for the sex. It is awful! Men have feelings too u know! I went down on my knees asking her not to leave me but she did go anyway and very coldly. Now she’s texting me telling me to remember to eat and drink something and to look after myself. I feel helpless. My parents live in Greece nowadays and they had visited us recently to help us with the house with my dad suffering from cancer in its last stage. She left us back then too and left the baby to me and my mum for 5 days while she went and had a nice time with her family. She wasnt even here on my birthday or even text me. My parents are the only people who ever really helped us emotionally and financially and they didnt deserve that. What can I do? I also lost my job because of this. I am a strong man but this one has really hit me hard. I need people to give me their best advise possible. Men and women please.
