Hi Golderivet,

I do have considerable experience of people with mental health difficulties through my job (disability needs assessor in Higher Education), and listen to Skybird, he is right - seek professional help.

Your amateur diagnosis may be totally incorrect - a professional may reach a very different conclusion, and recommend appropriate treatment - who knows - her symptoms may be something physiological such as a brain tumour which could need urgent treatment or surgery. Bipolar patients often respond well to medication and CBT, but both must be carefully managed by an expert.
