How do you avoid a breakdown with Bipolar Disorder?
My mom is Bipolar and we recently lost my father about 1 1/2 years ago. It normally takes a really expensive trip to a mental facility before she gets back on track. I have 2 sisters, all of us are married and this puts major strain on our relationships. Last time my mom ended up marrying a man from the mental facility for about a week and it took us 6 months to file the divorce (my mom is also legally blind and can't work so she only lives off SS.). We want to be there and help her but she pushes us away until it's too late and we have to force her get help. Isn't there someway to help her before the symptoms get too bad?????? Please help if you can.
