The Mental Health Marriage
With mental illness, the spouse often gets left with the burdens of the family, and is left very isolated. All the support can go to the spouse with the disorder, when we as the partner, need just as much love, understanding, and support. This podcast is my way of trying to provide a small piece of that, and to share each other's stories and offer helpful advice, support, and community.

In this interview, we hear from "L" who is the wife of a man diagnosed as on the Bipolar spectrum, whose biggest struggle has been severe bouts of depression that have led to a suicide attempt and hospitalizations.
