Inquiring about a mental illness..?
Answer:
It sounds like bipolar. It runs in my family. Very serious.
I'm only a psych student but I think that's BS and a cop out answer on your friends sister's part. It sounds like she might also have a claim on the guy that n pne knows about and she wants him for herself. As far as I know your freind might have a dependency problem where she can't stand to be alone therefore she tolerates this, a lot of women have dependency issues it's nothing wrong witht hat. But telling her he has a mental problem becuase he's a chronic cheater is a complete lie.
First of all, a psychiatrist should not be saying your friend is in any way responsible for his well-being if she is smart enough to finally break away. She owes him nothing.
Second, he may have a mental illness but saying that is an excuse for his bad behavior is excusing him as if he is innocent. He is a grown man, he should be in therapy getting help to fix his problem.
Third, you friend needs to wake up and smell the coffee--she is in a terrible situation and needs counseling herself to find out why she is so self-destructive. This is a dysfunctional relationship and she needs to break free before he brings home a disease. She needs to get some self-respect and begin to understand a man is not what makes her happy.
