Mr.AARP posted:It might not be severe enough, but look into lithium treatments if she has been diagnosed as bipolar. Lithium doesn't work for everyone - and yes its scary since its a very long-term medication - but in general its the most chill possible course of medication than the newer less understood stuff that people end up changing/adjusting more often. Most people can adjust to function close or the same as they would without the whole crazy episodes that destroy everything phenomenon. -- RE OP: As a person diagnosed as Bipolar Type I for whats it worth I empathize with your situation greatly. Yes, if you are out of it, clicking or not clicking a bunch of Amazon orders or whatever else thats happened that seems at the time like nothing in that state but ends up a huge problem for yourself or family and the shame and regret is hard to deal with following such actions. Your sister deserves and needs to be diagnosed, to receive disability support such as social security (they deny almost everyone the first time) and ultimately programmed towards accepting lifelong brain-borne illness to move forward. I can only say that its possible to be completely empathetic, understanding of a persons real struggle and issues and also have zero tolerance for the kinds of behaviors you describe that affect surrounding families. My experiences and information really though relate to a different country with a very different legal-social regime about admitting people to hospital and treatment against their 'will' when in a state of mania for example.
