Nine months, and some crew members are becoming unstable?

With all the talk about trips to Mars soon, I asked how long that would take.
The fastest estimate was approx. 9 months going, wait 500 days, then 9
months back.
The round trip takes approx. 3 years.
Can the crew remain stable for that long in isolation?
Can they carry enough supplies for three years?
