[QUOTE="seriously, post: 445098, member: 11920"] This must be a YOUNG cop to be willing to consider marrying a woman with bipolar who doesn't stay on her medications. I can't imagine one here who'd been on street duty for more than a couple years who would be willing to do that. They've seen the carnage that can result from refusal to medicate serious mental illness. Our local PD has done an outstanding job educating it's cops (or at least the ones who are willing to listen) about mental illness and they even have a handful of specialists who can be called out to deal with crisis situations with mentally ill people. Since our county had to eliminate ALL emergency psychiatric beds, the cops and ER's have become the de facto emergency psychiatric services. Of course, when you're "in love", most of your common sense flies out the window. I'm glad to hear that he was willing to take the brochures. Maybe he would be willing to go to visits to psychiatrist with wife-to-be to develop a plan for pro-actively treating her likely post-partum depression or mania??? I sure hope all goes well, that the baby is met with joy and perhaps provides the motivation his mother needs to take her own health in hand. Blessings and rattling of beads for a successful wedding.+ [/QUOTE]
