There is an organization called NAMI "National Alliance for the Mentally Ill" they have what is called a family to family class that they offer free of charge for family members of the mentally ill. To reach them go to www.nami.org they will be able to get you in touch with a chapter near you. The class teaches you how to deal with your wife's illness. If it had not been for my husband having this available to him I don't know what we would have done. Through nami we have found many friends and a large support system not only for those of us with illnesses but the family members as well.
