My daughter in law has rapid cycle bi polar and I would like to know how best to support her and my son. When she is in low mood she can become delusional, suicidal, religious mania, heavy binge drinking and has ended up in hospital so many times. Mental health care in her area is not brilliant. She is approaching 50 and I am worried for her about the effect of the menopause.
She is taking a single dose of quetiapine at night, no CPN, no crisis plan, no medical support
Your thoughts as to how best to support her would be appreciated
