What Causes Bipolar Disorder In A Pregnant Woman?

Wife is bipolar and pregnant. She refuses to get treatment for the bipolar. She is very moody. I can t talk to her without her flying off the handle. She told me if I mention treatment she is done. But the last two months has been a living hell. I can t do anything right. And she acts like she wants nothing to do with me. She says she loves me but my touch really annoys her. So we sleep on opposite sides of the bed and she doesn t even hug or kiss me without being asked. What can I do?

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi dear,
for proper diagnosis detail history and mental status examination is required and for that you need to consult psychiatrist.
According to me if your wife pregnant and bipolar then admit her in psychiatric nursing home for better treatment and care for pregnancy and bipolar disorder.
How you comes to know she has bipolar disorder?
is she having such illness in past?
there are many medication which helps her and for best treatment ECT (electro convulsive therapy) is available.
Thank you
