Can a person with bipolar 2 disorder lead a married life? whether his situation worsens over the period????

So far, so good.

It not only takes the person with bi polar taking responsibility for their meds and well being, but it often takes a very special and patient partner. Sometime, even with following Dr's orders to a "T", mood swings can happen, which is why I say that it takes a special and patient partner.

Fortunately, I have this in my husband, may God Bless him for putting up with me when my mood swings are beyond my control or understanding. (yes, I take my prescribed meds daily and see my psych, etc.) Life is going to happen and unfortunately, meds are not 100% effective and I personally become over-reactive when it's been a long day or especially trying.

I gave my husband so many outs before the wedding (and some since then) but he says he's in for the long haul. He knew about my depression and the possibility of my bi polar when we first met. The bi polar wasn't confirmed until over a year after we married (5 years after we were together all told).

So, to sum up my verbose response, yes, it's possible for a person with Bp2 Disorder to lead a married life, and to even be happily married.
Yes My Cousin has the same condition & she has 4 healthy kids she just gets Depressed at times nothing serious
Absolutely. You'll be happy half of the time, which is more than most married people.
My cousin suffered from bipolar disorder for most of her adult life. She married twice, sadly neither marriage survived... to many hospitalizations... the behavior... everything was just too much, when she stopped taking her medication it wasn't just hard on the husbands.. the whole family suffered. She was great when she was on the meds.... she just wouldn't always take them. Good Luck
yes and no it depends on the person. there are also shots that will help and if the wife loves him enough to put up with the situation i think that the odds of it working out are in his favor.
Absolutely, if the person in question takes care of their disorder--i.e. takes their medication, goes to therapy when needed, making sure there is support. The person with the disorder has to take responsibility to monitor themselves to ensure that their condition remains stable and if there are signs of trouble (like deepening depression or more symptoms of mania) to go to their psychiatrist immediately.
