Can a Muslim man return to his wife after divorcing her more than twice, knowing that he was suffering from a difficult psychological state, mental distraction, and nerve disorder due to post-polio syndrome at the time of the divorce?

If divorce occurs in a state of extreme anger or unconsciousness, it does not take effect. However, if the intention of divorce is present with awareness, then a single divorce takes effect, whether uttered three times or separately (You are divorced, you are divorced, you are divorced). This applies if it was uttered once or more than twice before reconciliation. But if he divorced her and reconciled with her, then divorced her again, the divorce takes effect according to the previous instances.
