My sister (who also is bipolar) has been acting off lately. I'm just wondering if I should be worried.

I see her talking to herself (or someone else in her mind), she keeps going on about a plot to kill her, and just seems off to me.

She does have a pdoc. I'm not sure if she's taking her meds, she avoids the question. She's on most of the same things I'm on. I try to talk to her but she shuts me out. She's 17, I'm 23.

I don't remember much when I go completely psychotic which itself is rare for me. Most of my psychotic episodes happen only for a few days but people say I get really agitated snappy talk to myself and just generally angry on the whole. Everyone is different though so idk.

That's quite worrying. I hope she's getting help. If she's not able to talk to you, I hope she is at least speaking to professionals.

So she is a minor. YOur parents have the ability to intervene.
It doesn't sound like she is taking her meds.
She may need to have the injectable kind if she is non compliant.
Would she agree to have you go with her to her next pdoc appointment?

I'm not sure my parents would do that.
Our pdoc apps are always on the same day, right after each other. I'm not sure if she'd let me go in with her though.
