The player said his girlfriend was the first one to notice his mental health struggles and was his number one support when he was on a break from cricket.
"It was actually my partner who suggested I speak to someone," Maxwell had upon his return to cricket.
"She was the first one who noticed it.
"I was pretty mentally and physically ruined from eight months on the road and living out of a suitcase. That had probably been going on for four or five years.
"My girlfriend was the number one (support). It probably wasn't an easy job for her to deal with me going through mood swings non-stop for the first few weeks," he said.
The couple is believed to have been together for over two years.
