I am also suffering from mental illness. It started after I graduated from uni. I went through a lot in school tho with my dad's threat of becoming a doctor of which I didn't even get to part 4. Men do jilt me after telling them my illness. Maybe that is why your brother's wife didn't open up to her. I don't really blame her. But why is she having attacks after a long time. Was she exposed to trauma or ill-treatments from your bro? Well, let her stick to her meds and put her in an hospital. It may be a psychiatric ward in a teaching hospital. I don't have relapse except I stop or reduce my drugs. Thank God for this guy that decided to stay till now. I will give God full thanks when he puts the ring on my finger. My parents and siblings are also one in a million. You people should be supportive I beg. Mental illness can happen to anyone. People don't even know I have it because I finished with a first class in the new department I crossed to when I was withdrawn from medicine and also the best student in my MSC class. My sister introduced me to this blog to keep me from depression. Sorry for my rant. Thanks bvs
