Lois suffered from bipolar disorder (manic depression), an affliction apparently inherited through the Robinson line since Joe and Jim Robinson also suffered from this illness. First signs were in the late 70s, and the problems became quite serious by late 1980's. The strain of her erratic behaviour and depressions eventually caused marriage difficulties and separation from her second husband in April 1997.
