Research Notes on Bipolar Disorder and Divorce
Bipolar disorder and divorce statistics have shown that 90% of those with bipolar disorder go through a divorce. The mood swings associated with bipolar disorder can put a strain on relationships. Those with bipolar disorder need all the support and love they can get, and going through a divorce can provide the total opposite.1
Fast Facts:
- The healthy spouse needs to be understanding with the bipolar spouse in order to save the relationship.2
