Mom Bipolar 1 - Going Through Manic
I need your help or advice. My mother has entered her manic state and I have been trying to manage it with her doctor. She got into mania due to her brother being diagnosed with stage 2 B-Cell Lymphoma, and she just flew back from the middle esst escaping the war over there. I am sure it given her some unwanted PTSD as well.
Her brother’s first chemo session is today. I am not sure what we will expect tbh from her and how she will react in the next couple of days and weeks.
I’d appreciate any advice on what to do and expect, she is on 1500mg depakote and Olanzapine 10mg. She does have an NP that we have been seeing and has been helpful.
Im dealing with two sick loved ones at the same time, and Im trying to figure out what to do as the days go by.
