Sorry to hear this. I was a psychiatric nurse for 10 years , so know how hard it can be for carers, and how little support they get too. Sending positive thoughts to you and your wife. Stay strong, man.

It seems sometimes that only our GP is on our side and even then he is hitting his head against a brick wall in trying to get us help.
Is there no Crisis Intervention Team or Home Treatment Team in your area (you live in UK, right?). I imagine services are pretty overworked these days (we were 10 years ago, and funding was better - crap, but better- then). There might be a carers group who can help advocate for you. Good you have supportive gp.
We got the Crisis team in a couple of years ago and she had a few months as a day patient at a local facility so wanting to try and get her back there.
Good luck. If you are having trouble contact your MP. It sounds odd, but amazing what can be done with right pressure
