Help with diagnosis?!
Question: Help with diagnosis!?
I don't know anymore what to do but i'm still trying!.My sister of 38 years old still lives with my momma,the problem is she has some mood swings that fluctuate like weekly!.She sees a doctor and has tried different meds but all she takes now is xanax,and when she is running out,it scares us!.Sometimes when she's taking a shower mom calls me and says my sis is banging on the walls again yelling and cussing (while IN the shower)!.Also,there are times when she is the sweetest by washing mommas car and mowing the lawn but then the next day she locks herself in her room and talks to no one!.She don't have an outside job so we help her with neccessities,but she is sometimes is so dissrespectful to us that i feel unappreciated!.She has been like this for years,and the thing is,my mom is asking me if i think my sis would ever hurt her which i highly doubt because my sis says and acts so loving at times and is so fearful of losing us to anything!.Please help!?

It sounds like bipolar disorder or borderline personality!. If so, she needs help!. xanax is for anxiety and calming only- it won't help if she's bipolar!. also, it's addictive and if you stop taking it suddenly you can have seizures!. She needs to see a doc before she runs out!Www@Answer-Health@Com
