Suggest Treatment For Bipolar Disorder

While in my therapy, I learned that my daughter has BPD. Knowledge of this dreadful disorder helped me to see my daughter a little differently - like sick person... But I have problem with communicating with her, The worst is her accusation regarding her life failure as my fault, One of most painful remark is .. you should have do abortion, you wasted my life, my father s life, you,re manipulative , conniving, bi...ch, monster with heavy dementia... and so on, on. After a while she calls that she is sick, all kind of problems. She counts on my invitation back to New York, to live with me as it was several times previously, but I am simply scared. I would like to help, ut living with her under one roof seems like horror

Hello,

I feel that your daughter needs your help, she need proper treatment. I would advice you to talk to her and convince her that she needs therapy and proper medications to control her symptoms. Once she agrees to this, meets a psychiatrist, gets a proper diagnosis and starts her treatment you will see the changes in her. I understand that psychiatric problems can be over draining and difficult to manage and can take a toll on your mental health.

As for the treatment, she would be prescribed lithium which is the medicine for bipolar disease and therapy sessions too. I would advise you to continue therapy too. In my experience the patients benefit a lot from this treatment and you can see clear changes in her behavior and attitude.
Also, I would like to add that this treatment is life long and only continued medications and sessions will help her.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Hiba Tehrim, General & Family Physician
