Yeah, that sounds pretty familiar. Although I don't know anyone that has committed suicide, the depression, the relationship hopping, the drinking, the mood swings - all sound very familiar. And not just my H, but a lot of people I know. Especially the other guys from his unit.
My H also had problems with appointment cancellations - although his were cosmetic and not psychiatric. The system is overloaded.
But it's really hard to force someone to go to counseling or take meds. Especially in CA where you have to prove they are a danger to themselves or others to force them to see a psychiatrist.
I'm not sure what the solution is honestly.
