"You either go get help, or that's it."
Howie Mandel further added,
"She [Howie's wife] threatened to leave."
The 65-year-old Canadian comedian and TV personality also spoke about being depressed and on medication because of the extreme situation during the pandemic. Howie Mandel jokingly said,

According to Howie, that's the secret to their lasting marriage. He noted,
"That's the yin to the yang of a long marriage."
