What should I do if my wife is mentally unstable?

If your wife is mentally unstable then you need to realize that she has no place in a stable marriage. My wife was mentally unstable and popped xanax's and drank everyday. She eventually went to rehab and found a man and left me for him. Was I upset? Yes, very much so. Did I want her back? Yes. But now after realizing how much emotional pain an unstable woman can cause you, it was for the best. Mentally unstable people also tend to be very selfish, and pathological liars to hide their problems. I didn't need it and neither do you.

Yes it is legal to press charges as it is still a form of assault regardless of mental state. It would then be decided in Court if the patient was mentally unstable and if so he/she would be sent to a psychiatric unit for treatment. The case would prove that whilst the patient is mentally ill he/she is a danger to others. If the patient is deemed not mentally ill then he/she would more than likely be sent to prison instead.
