You can pray about her. God can help you with anything in life. Know that God can help you and/or your daughter live a better life if you want God to help you. You can have a personal relationship with God by saying the prayer below. God is our Creator, all-knowing, all-powerful, eternal, holy, love. God loves us and sent us His Son, Jesus Christ, so we can go to heaven if we know and follow Him. Forever means without end — time on and on without death. Forever is what happens after we die. Either we go to heaven and be with God forever, or we go to hell which is very bad and painful forever. The good people who are saved believers in Jesus Christ go to heaven. The bad people go to hell. We need to know and follow God in this world to get to heaven in the next world. We follow God by loving and obeying Him and loving others for Him. Jesus Christ, God’s Son, is our bridge to God. Jesus died on the cross to cancel our sins. We need to accept Jesus into our life as our Lord and Savior forever to receive God’s blessing and forgiveness plus go to heaven to be with God forever after we die. This is about being a born-again Christian. Faith in God is a gift from God. You can pray for faith in God. Just speak out and ask God for the faith to believe in Him and to follow Him. Some people find faith in God when they realize the beauty in the world is made by God. Evolution can’t explain the world’s natural beauty, for example, the parks in the world, animals, flowers, peacocks, sunsets, butterflies, rainbows, etc. After you have your faith on, you can pray a sinner’s prayer to be a born-again Christian. This prayer is very important and should be said with a sincere heart and faith in God. This is the prayer: “Dear God, I know that I am a sinner and that Jesus Christ is the sacrifice for our sins. I have done the following sins (state these out) and I pray to discontinue these sins. I pray to receive Jesus Christ into my life as my Lord and Savior forever. In Jesus’ name, amen.” I’m Lutheran and I like the Baptist churches too. You could check out a Christian church and also see about their weekly Bible study group as a good way to learn about God’s will for your life. You can pray to God about your daily life and have a Christian church pray for you.

There is nothing that you can really do.. of course she will refuse treatment if she believes there is nothing wrong with her behavior.. and the more you try will probably just cause her to have more aggression towards you. She is an adult and she has her own problems that she needs to learn to deal with. You can’t do it for her.

Answer by Victoria
well i guess you have to try to let her deal with it on her own, i tried to push my son, but he has had to come to terms with his illness on his own. their is a website at about.com/ bipolar that is written by marcia purse and someone else that is excellent information, i suscribe to email/newsletter, i think if you contact them they may be able to help or give you some insight. grown children or young adults with bipolar children go through a lot. but if you push to hard they push you away, i guess my advice is to pray about it. and research her illness cause if she becomes aware of her cycles, either manic or depressive episodes than she will deal with it better, also stress brings it on worse. good luck!!!

Her non-stop talking (pressure of speech and flight of ideas) and her screaming and aggressive behavior is not something you have to live with.
IF she is an adult and she understands her diagnosis, it is her responsibility to take her medication continuously and follow up with her doctor regularly to ensure that her illness is kept under control. Right now, she is out of control and probably needs hospitalization.
Tell her that she is only welcome in your home if she will make and keep an appointment with her psychiatrist. Tell her she is out of control and if her aggressive behavior continues, you will call the police.
The police will take her to a hospital emergency room for evaluation and if she needs hospitalization, they may sign her in without her consent until she is stabilized on her medication again.
Its up to you.
I always feel that people with chronic mental illness are just like people with chronic physical illness. They have to take care of themselves and not expect their families to put up with their failing health when they don’t or won’t take care of themselves.
I wish you and her all the best.
