You have your hands full. Did this happen after she had the baby?
Chances of recovery from the disease will be assisted by remembering these tips.
Fish Eat sardine's, herring, salmon, mackerel and every oily fish you can get your hands on. There's neuro-protective goodness in there.
Some people diagnosed with schizophrenia symptoms have turned out to have an allergy to wheat or milk. Quite a lot of people in fact. It's well worth you're while getting this allergy test done at a professional allergy test and cutting these things out of your diet if necessary.
Eat 3 fruits a day and five vegetables a day. Do this because they contain body friendly antioxidants. So orange juice for breakfast. An apple for midmorning break. Some Salad with your lunch. You get the idea.
Drink plent of water. Add 7 drops of apple, grape or cranberry juice to the water. Water will reduce stress. 8 pints of water a day or as much as possible.
Vitamin therapy - 4000 mg of Omega 3 (2000mg in morning and 2000 mg in afternoon after 3 days increase by another 2000 mg - an extra one in morning and an extra in afternoon then after another 3 days increase to 8000 mg - 4000mg in morning and 4000 mg in afternoon.) After about a month or when the personality changes back ti normal you can start reducing it back to 4000 mg like you did to start or where the personality changes. Omega 3 has been reported as benifical. You should really just eat fresh fish.
800 mg of lecithin, 10000 vitamin A, 400 mg Vitamin E
5000 mg vitamin B12 most depressed people have a deficency and have been reported as benifical. A good multi B vitamin and 400 mg of folic acid. Some schizophrenia symptoms have been blamed on a lack of this in the body. Many schizophrenia symptoms can be linked to sugar imbalances. For starters it leads to your B12 and B6 being absorbed too quickly and your really need them. I'd cut sugar out.
3000 mg of time-released vitamin C
2000 mg of no flush Nacin in evening. You may need to start off at 500 mg and increase every 3rd day by 500 mg until you reach 2000 mg. Continue thereafter.
No caffine No smoking Strong new evidence is emerging that smoking contributes to mental illness.
Cognitive exercises such as cards with numbers 0 - 99 7 accros and seven down. Remove all even numbers. Shuffle and repeat 10 times daily.
If she won't do this then you may have to get your medical provider (whomever diagnosed her) to put her in the hospital .Depending upon the state you live, you could have her in the hospital for evaluation for up to 6 weeks. In the hospital they will get her to taking her medication. When she comes home you will be able to get her to take her vitamins. and go to counseling or support group meetings.
If you've tried all, then as a last resort, you might have to move on for the sake of you and the baby.
There are some more things that I can tell you about but not enough room contact me. I wish you the best.

Here is the real deal. 1. Unless you have continued the behavior from 6 years ago. It is her problem not yours. If she cant get past it after all of this time, she is the one with the problem. 2. I am guessing that your wife is in her late 30's, early 40's. The reason that I say this is that I have noticed more and more that women around this age feel the need to "find themselves". There is nothing you can do to change this. This is their version of a mid life crisis. 3. You are no different than millions and millions of other couples. You spend all of your time and energy for a dream, that ends up becoming a nightmare. Everyone continues to try and keep up with the Jones'. Guess what people the Jones' are all f'd up too.

Is the baby safe? If she is a threat to herself or others a protective custody order can be issued and she would be put into a mental institution for up to 3 days for evaluation and released if all is well. Drastic yes. It's just an idea. Talk to her parents. Relax. Sit down, put your emotions aside and think. May everything work out; they always do

Check out hospitals and see where you can get her and your self some help and as soon as possible. This a serious problem. She doesn't know what she is dealing with right now, it may take years, but the proper medication will help. I don't know where you live but I hope you research this thoroughly and get the help that is so desperately needed. I will be praying for you all. Warmest wishes to you!!!! Save your marriage, it is worth fighting for. I do understand more about this than you might think I do. Also at this point of this mental illness, she really doesn't know what she wants right now or needs but she really desperately needs you to help her. Best wishes to you....

well your in a no win situation it seems unless she can get better. if not the disease will get worse and so will her mind, i hate saying these things, like you don't have enough to worry about already. but you probably should try to find her a good medical treatment center for her to live at that would also treat her condition ,and you and your son try to make it without her.

I am so sorry you are going through this. But if she refuses to take meds or get any help I don't see what else you can do.
BUT - one thing that MAY be worth trying - and I serioulsy doubt it would work - but you could try talking to her primary care Dr (who she sees for a cold or something) and maybe they can come up with a plan or maybe they can "trick" her into taking it?
I serioulsy doubt this will work - but it's worth a shot!
What about asking her about marriage counseling and the Dr there might be able to 'talk her into it' or something
If those don't help, I'm afraid you will loose her.

its great that you want to hang in there & work things out
mental illness is a tough thing to get through
the best thing i can recommend is getting her the help she needs first
even seperate, if that's what it takes to get her help
once she's on her meds & back in balance, THEN focus on your marriage
she just can't work on it when she's like this, and she really does need some help
best of luck to you, and i commend you for stick through thick & thin

When you live with crazy people you go crazy. Doesn't she have a doctor monitoring all of this? If not get one. If she does consult her doctor. In the meantime feed her a lot so that she does not speak as much.
