Those who suffer from Mental Disorders are protected by Federal Anti-discrimination Laws. I sounds as if you would like a stronger prescription for your co-worker.
Speak with your supervisor or manager. If her behavior is affecting your ability to do your work efficiently, he or she (manager/supervisor) may choose to move the coworker to another area.
The term "mess" is vague and unclear. You will need to be more precise in your description of her perceived 'wrongs'.
The work environment is just that -- a work environment. If she isn't speaking to you, she is probably busy doing what she is hired to do. If she is speaking to you, she has probably finished a task. As for making trouble for other people, that is common in the highly competitive workplaces (with or without prescriptions).
Prescription medicines are a private matter. You should not concern yourself with her medical condition or her meds. It is a private matter between a patient and physician. The chemical side affects of a particular medication may cause changes in behavior.
If she has been employed there for 3 years, she is performing her work satisfactorily. You should strive to stay focused on your particular work assignments; and, resist the tendency to gossip about co-workers. It is a negative trait and some employers do not tolerate it as it diminishes the efficiency and effectiveness of productivity within the workplace.

Have you tried speaking to the person in charge of your are or the personnel manager? Surely your organization does evaluations of you from time to time. If they know there is a problem,they can deal with it in her evaluation. Also,start to document the things that she does that involve more than one person. That way when you speak to someone in authority it won't seem like you are just trying to get someone in trouble.Before you do this, can you try talking to her? She might be able to shead light on the situation so that you understand better why it is happening.It may also change the way she does things so you won't have to speak to someone about her. Thats the way you would want it done if this were you. Good luck and God bless.

everyone has a crazy co-worker... believe me. The best way to deal with them is to not get caught up in their drama. I'm sure there are other ways to spend your energy in a positive way, i.e. like enjoying an icecream or going out clubbing. So just accept the fact that she's nuts and move on. The rest of the drama will seem irrelevant.

Are you me?? LOL, No, but the same situation that im in! You have to understand, you cant figure out everyone. People are just weird. I was always asking about the girl, too. But i came to that conclusion. To stop trying to figure out everyone cause there are some coo coos out there. Avoid her. When she messes with you, be FIRM with her. Tell her if she messes with you again, then tell her asince you cant do anything at work, you will report her. You should report her anyway.

There is nothing you can do. The poor woman is under enough pressure. When she is speaking you be kind and gentle with her. When she isn't speaking don't try to initiate conversation. Let her set the tone. Don't take any of it personally. If she has problems it's not her fault.

We all have that CRAZY co- worker. The best thing to do is keep it work related. Say hello and good-bye,and stay out of her way. Someone must like her if she still has a job. ( Is she a brown nos-er?) I feel for you .... Miss Molly

well she must be a very troubled woman,and to shun her more will only make her more difficult to be with ,a few of you get to gether and take her out for lunch with the purpose of telling her how her behaviour is affecting you all at the office and advice her to get councelling or theraphy,if she still does not listen just all of you ignore her and if that does not work call a meeting with her immediate boss and explain your difficulties with her boss may be her boss will settle things straight

I would stop worrying about what she does and just concentrate on yourself. You can't change other people,but you can change how you respond to them. In this case I would always be polite to her no matter what is going on and always act professional. I would not engage in any gossip with her or chat with her about your personal life. If you keep it on a professional and courteous level you cannot be affect by her erratic behavior.

Stay out of her way, stay out of her mess, and accept that this is how she will always be unless she and she alone decides to change.
Mind your business as much as possible and don't contribute to the gossip about her or anyone else.
