My husband walked away from our family the week before Xmas after havING some kind of mental breakdown. Since then he has been (in his own words) full of melancholy and mania, has expressed a want to kill himself and become insomniac. He has been prescribed antidepressants which he is taking and his symptoms have improved. He is still adamant however that our marriage is over. We have the same GP and she has gently suggested that he is just a man just trying to leave his wife. Erm...what about all the other mental health stuff and the fact that we were the happiest couple in our friendship group???She has said mental health issues do not appear overnight (he is now saying he wanted to self harm since he was 15) and the only thin g that she can suggest is that he has a personality disorder. I know very little about this...can anyone help by explaining if this sounds plausible??? He is functioning bur feeling no emotion and can only show anger and contempt for me despite nothing happening for me to deserve this.
