My DSis has Bipolar 1. She has a major manic episode ever few years (last one 2 years ago), which seems to end up in a psychosis every time and with her needing hospitalisation. That is always hugely stressful and traumatic for her and all around her. She lives with our very elderly and vulnerable mother in another European country. We tend to congregate at their house once a year to celebrate our mother's birthday. My DB has arrived today and let me know that she is showing all the signs of another manic episode - but still early stages. She has stopped taking her meds. Anyone know if it is at this stage possible to help her get it back under control before it's too late? I don't yet know how receptive she is to getting things back under control... Anyone with personal/family/partner/friends experience?
