Thats really a tough one. First, does she live alone? I would notify her Dr, the police dept. etc that she is home and a little delusional..her friends...etc.....They should be aware of and change in behavior that could hurt her or others. Its hard when they live away and are adults. Trouble is notifying friends can be bad as she might not want people to know......it really is a very tough spot you are in.I hope she has added you to any Dr etc as a person that can receive information. If something does happen you will be aware. It may come to the fact she cannot reside alone etc, and needs a more structured setting if she is not already in one.
Re: the delusions....she might get upset if you tell her they are delusions or she realizes they are part of her illness. You will have to determine that.

I now, would contact the Social worker at the hospital she was in and see if you are on the list to get info on her. Then you can talk with the Social worker about your concerns re: her. I have been in a situation like that with my bipolar daughter. If you do not have insurance they kick you out of the hospital long before ready!!!

Try also contacting NAMI which is the association of mental heath awareness.(www.nami.org) They are in every state, and can help you more re: her and your concerns!. Note there is also DBSA(www.dbsalliance.org) which is a depression and bi-polar support alliance that you can contact.Also here is a good place and you might want to read the posts and hopefully will also get a lot more imput on how to deal with your adult daughter.

I am so sorry you are going through this. Please feel free to post me with any other matters!
