Mood Disorder and Marriage

When those around us hurt us, especially those who are suppose to love us the most, if we are not careful our thought processes and their insistence may lead us to believe we are the cause of this hurt. For example, ever had someone special in your life that it did not matter what you did in the relationship it was or is never enough. Sad to say this is the case in many marriages, true both husbands and wives are affected by this but this article is geared more toward the wives. Nevertheless, does the relationship have to die?

Many times this type of behavior is deeper than just saying the person is downright mean in nature. What I am talking about here is not a physically abusive relationship in your marriage, though it may border on the lines of mental and verbal. Each marriage and situation is different and only you can make the decision as to which you are in. Nevertheless, the question is still does the relationship have to die? In addition, is there more going on with your partner that he cannot control on his own?

For example:

Moodiness – excessive mood changes that are hard for you to understand.

A few causes of moodiness can be a form of depression, anxiety, mania, emotional and even some personality disorders.

Conditions that can cause moodiness - bi-polar disorder, borderline personality disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and lyme’s disease, just to name a few.

Mood disorders and their causes affect almost 44 million Americans yearly. It is believed that most mood disorders are caused by complex chemical imbalances in the brain and most are treatable. Two of the most common disorders are depression and bipolar disorder better known as manic-depression.

When one suffers from bipolar disorder, they experience extreme mood swings that can also be accompanied by periods of so-called normal behavior. During these periods of normal behavior the man you married and love so much is able to love you back, to respect you and who you are, believes in you and your hopes and dreams and most of all they believe in you as a couple.
