First off don't jump the gun! She may be lucky and the genes will have skipped her or others in her family. If you are already having problems then get a diagnosis from a specialist and don't second-guess. Once you know what is wrong then look it up on www.Google.com Usually medications can help with the Bipolar, but Narcissism is another thing, but the good side of this is women are 98% more likely to seek out psychiatric care for this problem than men are. If your spouse has been diagnosed and refuses any treatment or refuses to take her medications for bipolar then you are going to have to tell her she has to help herself and do as the doctors say or you're leaving. Mean it! If you don't these two diseases can ruin you.
