Basically a relation I no has had a psychotic episode he has been sectioned. He has a wife and three children.
The past month he has been acting strange he has been talking about god and saying strange things to the children and just doing out of character things. he has got aggressive with his mother and step dad who was trying to help him. He last had a episode 16 years ago but I was not around then. When my relation went to see him in the a&e mental health place he had told her he had a kiss and God no what's else with another girl on the ward and she was standing there and it has really upset her and he has her number now.
My relation has been left with all the financial worries as she doesn't work but her husband did but I presume he will lose his job, children and everything to deal with and she feel embarrassed and she don't no what to do for the future of herself, kids and husband
I wondered if anyone else would do or if they been through this.

First off, mental illness (in yourself or someone else) is nothing to be embarrassed about, it's no different to any other type of ill health. Has your relation checked with her husband's employers to see what sort of sickness policy they have? Is she entitled to any benefits? Can either family help out?
