Bipolar Relationships: Living With A Partner With Bipolar Disorder

🎤In Episode 5 of Undefeated, I am talking to one of the unsung heroes of bipolar. My wife, Ellen Hiranya Seligman. Who has stuck by me through thick and thin. Most relationships have their challenges, but bipolar relationships are often harder. With medication dulling my emotional life, bipolar moods throwing in curve balls, side effects and many other challenges that arise, it can be hard for our other halves. The people who support, love and sometimes care for their mentally ill partners often get too little care and attention.

Fortunately, there are many people with bipolar disorder who have great relationships. However, it usually takes time and effort to figure out how to do it. In this episode Ellen Hiranya shares her insights, struggles, achievements and what she has learned through my bipolar challenges.

If you are a bipolar partner, or someone with bipolar who recognises just how important our spouses are. This interview is for you.
