Married to Mental Illness

Guest: Mark Lukach, Author of “My Lovely Wife in the Psych Ward” Mark Lukach knew something was very, very wrong with his 27-year-old wife Giulia the morning he woke up to find her pacing the bedroom and insisting that she’d talked to the Devil last night and the Devil told her she’s not worth saving.  It was Giulia’s first descent into psychosis. It came as a complete surprise to the young couple. It landed Giulia in the hospital for several weeks. It upended their lives, almost ended their marriage.  In a deeply personal new memoir called “My Lovely Wife in the Psych Ward,” Mark Lukach gives us a heartbreaking look at what it’s like to love someone who has mental illness.
