How To Deal With Bipolar Depression In Woman?

My 31 year old daughter is battling what I think is bipolar depression. She's a married mother of 5 and under tremendous pressure........I offer my help and support, but because I will hold her accountable for her risky behaviors (a recent rash of tattoos, sexual affairs outside the marriage and lying to everyone, not to mention making her 11 year-old daughter cry in a corner for an hour and talking about buying her first gun just to 'go shooting') she won't talk directly to me.........I am very concerned........what's my best approach?

Hello
You are her mother or father and in spite this fearing that you will be responsible ( accountable ) for her wrong doing .
Mind it that she is your daughter and she is critically ( bipolar ) ill ( mentally ).
Everything is excused in such type of cases , so need not to worry , rather take a bold step and protect your daughter and consult a psychiatrist ( rather admit her in a mental hospital under supervision of team of psychiatrist ) .
She will get relief with the treatment .
I hope everything will be fine .
Good luck for your daughter and also for you.
