I have become aware of symptoms that she has had since before she met me but did not reveal because, well, she was afraid people would think she was crazy or lying if she told people about it.
Maybe you could bring to her attention laws about what clinicians have to do by law in certain circumstances. If she knows the boundaries of what it’s safe to say without them being compelled to act on her ‘craziness’ or ‘lying’ that might give her confidence to talk to someone. That was a big thing for me. Also, she might seek help on her own or if there is an emergency be coerced into it anyway.
Do you think hes symptoms worsened or do you think you have just become more aware of symptoms?
