There is no solid way to get through to a stubborn headed manic individual. If anything, let him know how his actions while not on the medication are affecting your life and the lives of others around him. This may be the trick to bringing him back to reality.
Thank you for answering. He is 23, he sees a psychiatrist. He actually called her last week because he was depressed. She called him back but he wouldn't go see her. I am just so afraid something is going to happen and he is going to be so devistated about quitting his job. He has always loved it. I am sure everthing is because he stopped taking Depikote.
