How to deal with my bi-polar and physcotic mother!?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Bipolar Mom: Great question! It can be extremely challenging to deal with a loved one who has a major psychiatric problem like Bipolar Disorder. Some suggestions for you: 1) Buy and read the book From Sad to Glad, 2) See if there is a local chapter in your area for the National Alliance of Mentally Ill, AKA NAMI, which is a support group, 3) Finally, your Mom may need court commitment for inpatient treatment.

Take care of yourself: I wrote a chapter on this in my book "The Other Depression: Bipolar Disorder" also Dave Oliver has some good resources at bipolarcentral.com The first key is to save yourself, learning what you can and can't do. How to set limits, and boundaries. Expectations for treatment compliance. Educating yourself on the illness and finding real support. Don't do this alone. Good health
