You can provide emotional support and understanding. Encourage your partner to seek treatment and support him/her in their efforts to cope with mental illness. Make sure to take care of your own needs as well, and remember that you cannot help those who will not help themselves. If your partner isn't ready for help, you may need to move on.

I would recommend getting to have them see a doctor (psychiatrist). If they won't go willingly, you can always get them formed, which makes it mandatory for them to see a doctor for approximately 48 hours. This is probably your best bet, if they won't go on their own accord.

Having dealt with mental illness myself, I know that you need to keep going. Keep trying different therapies until you find the right one for you.

Let your partner know that you love him, and that if there's anything you can do to help him out, you will do it. Don't be a enabler, however.
