How to convince wife to seek help

<< < (4/9) > >>

Pineau:
 I would say she does not  sound bipoloar to me. More like anxiety and paranoia, isolated and withdrawn.  Maybe she is just not happy with the way things turned out.

What ever the final diagnosis is, if it truely a mental  illness you are in for a rough road. Doctors are not always accurate with diagnosis and the choice of medcations they give you. It may worsen the symptoms or even create new ones. You will need to watch her very close to look for possible side affects. 

But your biggest problem is to convince her she needs help. If you cant convince her maybe it wold be good for her to go home for a while and let the family work on her.

Jason B:
One way for her to meet people and feel more comfortable and more confident by socialising is by doing some courses.  I do not know if the USA offers the same thing that they do in Australia where part of the visa process is that the person is entitled to 508 hours of free learn English classes and about 200 hours of job training.  My wife is doing these now and loves it.  She gets out of the house and socialises with not only other Chinese people doing the course but other foreigners as well.  Maybe your wife is feeling trapped and frustrated.  But in this world of zero tolerance nobody deserves to be hit no matter the gender.  It need sorting.

Arnold:
Free 508 english class Hours  ???    :o leave it up to the Aussie's  ;D ;D ;D

Make sure Jason , your Wife takes those last 8 Hours .. there the most important !!!

Amber:
   你好。我是一名来自中国的女士。看到你的信。知道你现在家庭遇到困惑。我可以与你的妻子。连线QQ。或雅虎。或电话通话。这样从谈话中得到她现在一些思想?听你的说法。事情发生是糟糕局面。但我以中国女人的个人思想考虑。你的太太只是语言障碍。促使她对美国的生活习惯。有着不同理解。我不清楚你太太现在的年龄时代是什么?也许女人在更年期时期。情绪紧张。语言理解困难。两国家生活差异大。迫使他情绪有波动期。这是我的见解。不妨我们在沟通中得到。

shaun:
You know Amber may have something there.  Menopause.  How old is your wife?

I know in my vast knowledge of menopausal wives... 1...   :-[  Wild mood swings and hitting was the course.  She once told a friend of ours  that she understood how a woman could kill her husband.  (gulp!)
