Can anyone give any tips on how to keep a loved one safe during a manic episode when the plan has fallen apart, the psychiatrist fired, the meds stopped, she has moved out from her family, consequences building. Our friend is a doctor and can mask the mania when in the presence of a police officer or evaluating physician. The few friends she will still talk to are trying to figure out how to keep her safe and to minimize the on-going financial consequences and potential legal consequences. It is very painful and frightening for her young adult children (early 20s), who are trying to figure out how to help but are completely overwhelmed. She will no longer speak to her partner and sees her as the enemy, as well as anyone who tries to tell her she is manic and needs help and medication to stabilize. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. - Calcal
