This is her 7th hospitalization since high school, and each one has been due to her not wanting to take the meds. Her episodes are coming more frequently, and we are quite worried she may never get to the baseline again.
Have you discussed why she doesn't want the meds? Is it rational like the side effects or irrational like she thinks she's in the matrix and your handing her the blue pill?
