This is my first post. My wife is in her late 40s and appears to be suffering from a complete nervous breakdown, and I don't know what to do. The medical hospital sent her to a psych hospital and they've hardly communicated with us in 4 days. To make matters worse, this happened while on vacation out of state, and it doesn't look like they will be ready to release her to us when we're scheduled to head home. She won't see me or my kids and is under the delusion that she's being poisoned. She has no history of mental illness. This all seems to have started when she missed her first flight to meet us here. She's had a terrible, stressful year and lost two close family members.
The psych hospital finally acknowledged that she was in their care yesterday, but it doesn't sound like they've been able to help her. She won't answer their questions. She's isolating herself. Won't that make things worse?
