My daughter was diagnosed with bipolar disorder after dropping out of college in her second year. After returning home, attempting to work, take meds and getting involved in very risky behavior, she left in the middle of the night and moved thousands of miles away. Although she stays in touch and sometimes visits, she refuses to take meds and I have very little influence to encourage her to do so. I believe she stays away so she will not be judged by her behavior. My phone discussions and her facebook postings are inicators that she really needs help. She refuses to take meds or seek therapy. Is there anything I can do to help her and convince her to get help?
