Hi,

I'm not familiar if you've posted about your sister, so I have some thoughts questions...Does over-medicating mean using drugs/alcohol or does it mean she is taking more of her medication than perscribed? With the use of your word intervention...it sounds more like non-prescribed stuff? Has she ever seen a p-doc? or therapist? Is she prescribed meds? You indicated that your sister is bp...does that mean a p-doc determined that dx or is this observations.

You may want to review the signs of mania and depression from this site...the more you know the better you may understand your sisters symptoms and behavior. Share this information with your brother-in-law. If he is really considering giving up, that may suggest he doesn't have much information (unless this has been going on for many years). Losing your house is traumatic event and if she has bp may be compounded.

I guess my theme here is get more information about bp and come from a softer approach. Hope things get better.
