What to do if spouse has signs and symptoms of bipolar disorder but she does not agree to go for evaluation?
Unless she is a threat to herself or others, and can be shown to be so, there is nothing you can do. She has a right to refuse. We suggest that you get some counseling for yourself, if she will not cooperate, and then you will be in a better position to make decisions about your own future.

If your spouse is depressed would that explain why he does not seem to love you anymore?
Yes, depression could very much explain why your spouse may seem to be acting differently toward you. Depression makes it hard to feel the joy of love. If it's a real clinical depression, that means there is a chemical imbalance in their brain -- a real mental illness -- that affects their emotions. It's not all in their head, or in yours. If they act erractically, it could be bi-polar disorder (manic depression). Your spouse needs help. He needs you. Convince them to seek a psychiatrist (not a therapist, who is not a doctor and cannot prescribe medicine). The doctor will need you there to hear about his symptoms.
