Mental Health Support

I'm attempting this right now and it's not going well. The meds can make a huge difference. The person I'm helping says they have accepted the bipolar diagnosis after a month in a hospital but isn't taking it seriously and has completely refused to learn anything about it despite asking me to buy them a book on it which has sat unopened in their closet. They use bipolar as an excuse when they want to but it's never the reason for anything. It's like dealing with a child who can never make up their mind and deals in irrational rationality. Everyone is expected to bend over backwards to accommodate them and what they want to do. The recent med change sent them into what seems to be a neverending hypomanic episode. They requested the med change after doubling it one day to fight off some bad feelings. pdoc complied and they went off like a rocket. It's funny. Most don't want the meds because it brings them back down to normal. The person I'm trying to help loves this particular med cause it brings them up to that manic place that most people with bipolar love. To make it worse, the family member they are living with now is also bipolar(never diagnosed but it's blatantly obvious)and they are feeding off eachother and it's pretty frustrating just being near that house or trying to talk to them in any rational way.

Basically, they will not get help until they want it. Your rationality is not theirs and they will never accept anything but their own. This is why everyone else is crazy, not them. They believe in their own mind no matter what.
