Depression in relationships is just as bad as mania. The withdrawn and shell like person that use to be your spouse is infuriating. This is why 2/3 of bipolar marriages fail.
The depression is the bad side of the disorder. The depression can feel worse than the normal depression because the mania is also felt. This can be part of the reason Bipolar Disorder is the sixth leading cause of disability internationally
