Hello, it seems that you, your wife and the daughter were having good time, if I remember your post correctly, isn't there anything there? Like the things that's missing in her life? I don't frequent this part of the forum usually, I'm just throwing it out there.

I'm pretty skeptical of the MH system in my country, and as you probably know, psychotherapy is almost out of the question, I was googling about this in Japanese website the other day and the consensus seems to be, just meh. If your wife is Japanese native, the hope of her successfully using the help of US therapists may not be as high as you may think, then that would leave only psychotropic medications as a last resort?

As someone who also has wanted to die, I can tell you that she probably is not taking those meds. She may not be seeing a doctor either.

That's just speculation, only the OP knows how she said she wanted to die. Her parents can explain to him better how she's been doing. I may be off point...
bishop419, all the posts and how you say how she's been sounds alarming, some pills can get people suicidal too, there's a possibilities that her previous inpatient stay made her brain even more unwell, be afraid of seeing unfamiliar doctors, her past that you don't know about may be playing the role in her current dangerous depression, nobody knows but her.
There's no magic bullet to treat her current situation, even if she were to be talking to us here, she may not find the exact experiences/symptoms as she's had, or she may even find the similar experiences from someone with different mental conditions, it's quite tricky.
I guess I'm gonna leave these 2 cents and butt out.
P.S. Hairball's post sounded fair, this is a Relationships & Communication part of this huge forum with many member with their own problems in their own lives, trying to be supportive as best they know how. A little humility as a new member goes a long way, good luck.
