warrent to get my sister in the hospital. she been suffering biopolar for

many years and think last time they said she was bp2 and manic, she

stopped taking he meds after being relased in dec last year ,would not

go see doc, lost her diablity payment due to this. she been living with

people would would allow her to stay with her, since this thursday that

person kick he out due to the threating phone calls she makes, the police

told me they recevied complanits and could arrest her if i did not get he help.

threating phone calls , use foul words, and talking about relgion all the time

giving all her things away, this id one been happening for years also being

with lots a partners, the hostipal the last time let he go after two months

ans know follow up , this time i hope they will, she has been certifided

friends and my sister callling non stop and leaving the messages on the

phone.i would like your ideas or if someone had similar experences to what

i can do and what medcines are avalible to her to get better. i have lost

Re: had too lock up my sister

I'm so sorry to hear about your sister. I have Type I Bipolar and was committed to hospitals many times before one had to be a "danger to one's self or others".

There are many medicines (and new ones on the way) that can help stabilize someone with Bipolar Disorder. The problem is that someone has to TAKE them in order for them to work. Many people with this disease stop taking their meds - some because of the side effects, some because they don't think they HAVE a problem.

I wish there was an easy answer. One thing you might do is check out ****. They may have a local chapter near you and they are an absolutely wonderful support group for friends and family of people with mental illnesses.

Are you your sister's legal guardian? If I were you I would find out what the resources are available locally for help - medical, governmental, support, etc. especially if you face having to deal with a noncompliant bipolar family member.

There are others here who are actually in your shoes and they will be able to help even more,

I second the **** idea. I'm envolved with them and they are helpful.
This site is too.
