Carlisle was reported missing by his wife Carrie in September as he struggled with a relapse of depression before returning to his family after being found by a man in Liverpool.
The 38-year-old has spoken extensively of his struggle with mental health issues and in 2014 spent six weeks in a psychiatric unit after being hit by a lorry.
