Yes I married her knowing she was bi-polar but she was medicated at the time. About three years ago she was still symptomatic and she thought maybe she had been misdiagnosed. So she stopped all of her medication and she actually seemed perfectly normal after that. For a couple years. I started studying bipolar disorder a lot after that and decided to pursue my B.S. in Psychology which I'm in the middle of. My wife is a psychiatric nurse...so she should be able to recognize her own symptoms for what they are. But, a lot of the time, someone who is having an episode doesn't recognize it while they are actually in it. Not until after. Her father is a psychiatrist and he is the one who initial diagnosed her. Which is one of the reasons we thought maybe she had been misdiagnosed.
