Maybe your wife's intuition is on target and it may be worth exploring so you can finally heal some old wounds that may be the culprit to many of the challenging symptoms you are trying to manage.

Complex post traumatic stress disorder (complex ptsd, pdsd, shell shock, nervous shock, combat fatigue), symptoms and the difference between mental illness and psychiatric injury explained is a good place to research and covers a lot of areas where PTSD can develop.

Often someone is diagnosed with different disorders when what is really happening is that they have PTSD that has symptoms that are very similar to other disorders. I had been misdiagnosed and finally was diagnosed correctly and when I researched it further it was as if someone had finally "knew me".

It isn't just finally opening up about your past, it is understand how things you may have experienced that were traumatic to you affected you in ways you didn't understand.
