Can someone recommend a resource for dealing with someone who refuses to acknowledge their mental illness?

Question

I've heard that the book, "I'm Not Sick, And I Don't Need Help" is a good one. What other items do you recommend, as far as a book or internet resource?

I'm trying to show some compassion to their situation, but their behavior has become so irrational that my health is also being affected.

Answer 1

Unfortunately, there is no way to MAKE someone acknowledge their mental illness. You can give them all the books in the world, but if they don't believe they're sick, they're surely not going to read those books.  

Answer 2

run!
