I'm not sure if she's mentally ill or suffers from maybe Bipolar Disorder/Borderline Personality Disorder/Sociopath but I do know that her father said that in the past she has suffered from Depression & had an 'episode' - I don't know what kind of episode but that's what he said.
If it's any help, she is a bit bossy, moody, sulky & sometimes mildly controlling.
She says that she only choked me so that I would stay & listen to her. I think that is out of line because she could have jus asked me to stay and listen again rather than resort to violence.

You're right, I think if it is left 'untreated' then it could get worse and especially it begs belief if we had children.....what would she do to them?

I am more than happy to get some counselling but I think getting her to go would be a hard task. I suppose you have to want the help to go in the first place but she is a very stubborn girl.
I'm 26yrs old & she's 23 by the way.
