HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic
In bipolar disorder, patient needs mood stabilizer with antidepressant or antipsychotic that depends upon the symptoms. You did not mention the symptoms, but the way you have explained, may be she is in depressive phase. In that case, she should take mood stabilizer like lithium or valproate with antidepressant. Better to consult a psychiatrist and If you need further help, you can ask.
Thanks
