Kobojunkie: True talk. The husband may not be in the right frame of mind to even remember there is something called psychiatrist and this is where a good wife steps in and does the research on his behalf. By helping / steering her husband in the direction of the correct psychiatrist help instead of looking for SHORTCUTS and consulting illiterate clerics and their ilk, she will gain knowledge that will help her husband beat this illness and if God forbid her children inherit the same genes from him and it manifests in them then she would have enough knowledge to help her children beat it also. If she had done some free research on Google, she would have realized that mental illness is treatable and is not madness nor is it a death sentence. |

Kobojunkie: Again, I second the above and I once read that mental illness is the price we pay for intelligence and like you rightly alluded to above, a great many of the inventors and the super intelligent across the WHOLE world have one mental illness or the other afflicting them with some of them perpetually relapsing in and out of mental illness and in their remission periods some of them do their best works ever at times creating master pieces that have never been beaten to this date. Some European Kings and Queens that had one form of mental illness or the other include :- Charles VI of France, Henry VI of England, Eric XIV of Sweden, Philip V of Spain, Maria I of Portugal and George III of Britain. So, its not spiritual but a medical condition. 1 Like 1 Share |

Ilekokonit:Indeed! ![]() I expected her to have done pretty much all of that and hence my initial line of questioning is to ascertain how far they have both come in their search for the best approach as a couple. We are in 2023 when much of this information and lots of support groups are online, right at her fingertips if she ever needs others to talk to, nothing like back when I was growing up when no one pretty much knew anything. ![]() 1 Like 1 Share |

airsaylongcome: They’ll lose their license I think that’s part of their fear. The medication is a controlled substance and requires more scrutiny Draw a game plane of how to get treatment without affecting their profession and show them. If not it could get worse and hard to treat with time. If possible take a vacation and come to Naija to treat under a consultant psychiatrist Medications are associated with identities in developed countries. The Pharmacy council might likely put him on compulsory break if he is in any psychotropic drugs |

bigtt76: True talk. Its treatable as long as he takes his prescribed medication DAILY for at least 6 months and gets at least 8 hours undisturbed sleep DAILY into perpetuity to prevent relapse. I have a feeling that if the poster leaves her husband for another man, it may be a case of jumping from frying pan to fire as her husband has NOT wronged her in any way. He just happened to inherit those genes from his parent. I am sure that IF God forbid their son who has half of his Dads genes were to go through a similar fate the poster will not be happy if his wife wrote an article on the net stating :- I'm Tired, My Husband Is Mentally Challenged just because he lost his job. Losing his job may actually be a direct result of his untreated mental health issue which the poster wrongly claims is a family / spiritual problem instead of the simple common treatable mental illness that it is that requires seeing a Psychiatrist to sort out once and for all. So, the poster should treat her husband the same way she prays her son will be treated by his future wife 'cos what goes around comes around. Its time for the poster to show her husband that she has human feelings especially since by her own admission he is a GOOD DAD. 1 Like 1 Share |

Kobojunkie: You are spot on. Religious Experiences Shrink Part of the Brain A study links life-changing religious experiences, like being “born again,” with atrophy in the hippocampus https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/religious-experiences-shrink-part-of-brain/ Religion can have the same effect on the brain as taking drugs, study finds Researchers looked at how 19 young Mormons' brains were affected when they 'felt the spirit'. When studying their brain scans, the researchers noted certain brain regions consistently lit up when the participants reported spiritual thoughts. These are the same parts of the brain which have lit up when participants in previous studies have listened to music, experienced feelings of love and taken recreational drugs. This section of the brain, the nucleus accumbens, is known as the the brain's "reward centre" which controls addiction and plays a role in the release of dopamine – one of the chemicals which control a person's mood. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/religious-effect-brain-drugs-mormon-utah-reward-centre-nucleus-accumbens-a7446301.html 2 Likes 3 Shares |

beautifulsoul12: I noticed that your post was timed at 4.41am !!!!! You have to force yourself to sleep as lack of sleep can actually trigger erstwhile dormant mental health issues in some people. You don't want a situation where Daddy and Mummy both succumb to mental health issues and there are 2 young children to care for. 1 Like 1 Share |

beautifulsoul12: Reconnected with him years later after graduation, to my greatest surprise, he didn't graduate, wasted all his resources and couldn't travel out. We still love each other, so we got married. What was he doing at this junction before you decided to marry him? You know it that your school fees weren't cowries, so how did you intend to pay the bills? |

BigIyanga: Him not completing medical school is most likely because he had a nervous breakdown whilst in medical school (very common in Nigeria) and he chose his life over completing medical school. He who fights and run away lives to fight another day. You will be surprised that if he finds a way to relocate to the UK, Australia or Yankee he will complete medical school with Top grades since he was top of his class at Naija medical school before mental health issues forced him to quit to save his life. The situation in Nigeria generally is not helpful to peoples mental health especially if the person inherited genes prone to mental health issues from their parents (very common) and if the guy had been in the UK, the system there will have ensured he got the best medical help plus counseling when he fell ill and there would have been no need for him to leave medical school as the UK Government gives Uni students loans through out their courses with medical students being given the biggest loans since they can not afford to combine schooling with working. If the original poster is reading this, she should not lose hope 'cos IF her husband manages to relocate to a country such as UK, US, Canada or Australia, then her family will smile 'cos he can then complete his medical school with ease and the family will then benefit from his huge pay. In the interim, since he is a bright chap, he can enrol for ICAN, buy the textbooks and read for the exams at home and with his medical school study discipline, he can finish ICAN in roughly 3 years or less and then start applying for Accounting jobs. Medical school worldwide has a high drop out rate and those who did not complete medicine (especially those who left due to health issues) should not be seen as failures 'cos most times they excel in their later substitute careers and they probably entered Med school because one of their parents or both forced or brain washed them into studying medicine. |

There’s no written rule that the man must provide everything.

Coronavirus1:Power of which God? ![]() ▢ Jesus Christ's miracle success rate was at 100% when He was on earth — no one went away without being healed ▢ The healing/miracle success rate noted for His disciples is also 100% as there is no record of them not being able to heal anyone after the Spirit of God came on them The miracle/healing success rate exhibited by all of your church pastors and mogs combined does not even come close to that of doctors. The infrequent and random pattern of healing observed in your churches mirrors that observed in the lives of unbelievers, pagans, and other religious folks. So tell me, how can any of the many churches out there be said to be of God? ![]() 2 Likes 1 Share |

beautifulsoul12:In your heart of hearts, if you were in his shoes and he's exhibiting the signs of rejection you're exhibiting, would you be happy? You're being selfish... He didn't choose to be mentally unstable, stand by him as his wife. This is why I say love is fictitious. If love is strong, why do you even get to think like this of your partner? As for his mental issue, maybe there's a spiritual stuff he's to take after in his father's house and he's not been doing that because he's forming the educated to touch such. He should consult more. 1 Like 1 Share |

beautifulsoul12: Hello ma'am... I can imagine what things looks like right now around you.. First, you need to see there is a problem on ground and be super ready to solve it. Try sit your man down and ask him if he truly wish to be financially independent and will be ready to bounce back. Or better still, try and involve his family members (his mum as well) so he can be talked to as well. Fixing your rent is something that can be crowd funded... But you know how online guys are, they will drag you well before help will eventually come.... But be strong and intentional for the result to come 1 Like 1 Share |
