Joking aside, my ex-wife had/has mental health issues. When she took her prescribed medication she was fine, but she often wouldn't take it and would drink! She was in and out of Walsgrave's mental health unit like a yo-yo at one stage. I met a great mental health nurse there who took the time to explain a lot to me, but the ex even managed to wear him down. He said to me one evening, "You must have the patience of a saint: I really don't know how you've handled this for so long!"
