Amazingly helpful and has given me so much hope in dealing with my partner who knows he has bipolar due to previous episodes, but denies he is now having an episode. Your ideas have helped me understand, stop the arguing, be on his side, and help him in getting the treatment he needs. Thank you so much for your clarity and compassion.

Dr. Amador, what do you call it when someone isn't aware that they're telling a big lie?

[@jasonkalendek5014]

Dr. Amador, you seem a little sick. What you are saying doesn't make a whole lot of
sense, are you aware of this? I think you would benefit from a few courses of electro-
shock therapy, maybe a tranquilizer or two or three. How about it? I really don't like
what you are saying.
