People with mental health problems can be difficult to deal with especially if they are having a manic episode. Take your time and communication is the key.

Be there for them, give them the feeling you want to help and be there for your partner, ask what he/she likes to hear or do if there's something wrong while having an anxiety attack or something else, give them some space when they need it.

Be understanding and as accommodating as possible. At the same time don't let your significant other's depression and anxiety rule your life.

Dating someone with any such issue can be hard, but it can also be extremely rewarding. You need to find together the fine line between being patient and not treating them like they are sick. You also need to find together the means to communicate when things are tough, trying to hurt each other as little as possible. It takes time, honesty (blunt at points), and deep care; most of all, companionship.

Help them overcome it. Know from their view whats is bothering and understand it from their perspective to assure them that you can feel whats going on with them, and try to solve it from your perspective(What would you if you were in that position). If you can't, Just be there. Just Be there every time/all the time.

You might find it helpful to refer your significant other to a therapist in the community. These individuals are trained to help with serious issues!

You should be there for them and don't lead them on. If you seriously love the tell them, I hope this helps also talk to them
