One of the things that can wreak havoc in a woman is gynecological problems. You mentioned your wife having surgery and my thoughts went to wondering if her surgery was addressing a gynecological issue. That can most definitely affect a woman and cause some very real emotional problems along with changes in hormones that can bring about deep depressive episodes. And some women have a horrible time when they are going through the change of life.

There can be a combination of things that can change behaviors. That’s why it’s important that your wife makes sure there is no health issue causing her to experience confusion and mood swings.

Yes the abuse of alcohol alone can cause problems but there may be another underlying issue too.
