I'm not sure how that could be gracefully discussed with your wife. Are you close with any women in her life who could discuss it with her? I'm just throwing ideas out, here.
(Side note...I'm wondering if this is the best thread for this topic? Not offended by it or anything, just want to make sure it gets the right attention!)

My mother is a certified counselor, and it is her that identified the signs of possible perimenopausal rage. She is not a medical doctor and cannot give medical advice, but she has anonymously consulted with a medical doctor who is willing to lend guidance and become involved if necessary. There are many other women that have loved my wife for years and whom she has loved and respected in-turn. I'm still being careful regarding whom I involve, right now. So far, everyone we've sought counsel from immediately recognizes the drastic change in her, and her behavior as the problem, and they get added to the "enemy" list as a result.
