My Wife Has A Mental Problem

It is just a pity that you found yourself in this kind of situation, but then I think God is good and beautiful for every
situation. So you may not need to panic. I would say that you are lucky that she is already being taken care of
I mean medically.

My piece of advice for you is this; You may need a lot of patience to live with her. The reason being that her state of
mind had been seriously affected and this will take some times to be corrected. Hence it is your duty as her husband
to take good care of her. Who knows the reason God made it possible for you to cross over from Nigeria to live with
her over there. It is  for a while she will later get well but she needs your unconditional love at this trying moments of hers, so don't you get discouraged, stand by her, try to put yourself in her shoe, she needs you more than ever now.

She has been instrumental to your crossing over to America so she deserves your total support at this time and don't
you deny her this priceless help.
You need to pamper her don't shout on her make her feel important most times even at such a time when she do not deserve it. You may have to treat her like a small baby sometimes. You may need to study her behavioural attitude
and make sure you do not fail to keep the Consultant psychiatrist in charge abreast with all your findings since they don't live with her they may not know how she's behaving at home, but its your duty to tell them from time to time, this will go a long way to better her health because it will give the psychiatrists insight to know how to handle her case more effectively. 

Don't expose her to rowdy conditions, try to avoid things that will make her feel downcast or dejected, try to make her
happy at all times because a "joyful heart is a good medicine but a broken heart dries up the bones" I am very sure
with time she will get over it.

Make sure you monitor her to see that she takes her drugs from time to time, even when she is okay, she shouldn't
miss her drugs, at times  she may decline but you will know how you will pet her to take it or device a means of given
it to her in a subtle way she would not be able to suspect, I am very sure if you can do this she wil soon be alright.

Mind you, keep everything harmful (e.g. sharp objects like knives, forks, cudgels, bottles, etc.) completely away from her and don't you ever mention it in her presence or use it as an abusive word against her in any way or at any
time that she is insane or whatever, whatever,  don't get her annoyed and avoid anything that will make her to fret.

Above all commit her case to God, "I am the God of all flesh is anything too hard for me?" say
the scriptures. Cast all your cares on HIM He cares for you. I wish her a fast recovery. It is well, I will be praying for you.

na wa for this guy when just put everybody for high jump so! 

Sorry about that. . . I feel for you greatly, but with God anything is possible

I really sympathize with your situation here.

Count your lucky stars that your wife is willing to seek help and treatment, however. Mine is not so cooperative.

In response to an earlier post about the cause of schizophrenia, yes, the vulnerability to it is genetic, but not directly genetic. There is usually a time of severe stress, trauma, or emotional abuse that triggers the disorder in early adulthood. Mood swings are the hallmark symptom, and can be the most severe. Hallucinations and delusions are also common symptoms, and can be just as destructive to a relationship. The best way I've found so far to deal with my personal situation is to allow her to take control of the situation. Let her help herself, and only intervene if it's absolutely necessary. Those low mood swings tend to get worse if she feels she can't deal with this on her own; it kills her self-esteem. But medication seems to be the common antidote, as long as it's taken regularly. Most importantly, if a medication is prescribed that works, make sure she stays on it. In many cases, patients will feel like they've "beaten" the disorder and will begin to ween themselves off of their medication after a long period without symptoms, but the truth is that no cure has been found yet, and the reason for the lack of symptoms is the medication.

In response to everyone telling you to trust in God, I would advise against it. While a religion can provide comfort in many areas of life, depending on it to magically fix this situation would be ridiculous. Place your faith in science and medicine, where it belongs.
