My Bipolar Sister's FIANCE DOESNT Think She Should Be In The Hospital Or Take MEDS Should I Tell Her Docter?

Question

My sister's Fiance hasn't seen my sister when she's REALLY MANIC, but there's still some other symptoms that should of caught his eye but unfortunately he suffers from "dumbasss disorder"
theyve been together for 4 years, I'm surprised he doesnt notice the slight changes of behaviour when she's manic.

Example: Last yr. when my sister was manic, she was telling him that she wants to go downtown and she needs him and someother guy to go with her so that she could find the killers of a LOCAL girl who got shot. Her boyfriend didnt even think how UNNORMAL that was of her to say. matter o' fact it seemed like it didnt bother him.

For the past few days my sister got manic again. He thinks he knows better then my family he told my mom, "i dont understand why your taking her to the hospital"
and he told me,"She'll only get worse there"
Last yr she got diagnosed with bipolar, and her boyfriend was tellin her not to take her meds, that it will make her fat which will make her depressed

Last year she was admitted to the Hospital, where she did get better! and her mania stopped, like after a month of treatment.

SCUBA PANTS: not all physch wards are the same of how u describe it...
what a dumb thing to say "have u ever thought that she Likes being Manic"
and u telling me its ok for her to be manic? hmm ok so what i should have let her swallowed the handful of pills she put in her mouth a few days ago when she was manic, YOU GIVE SOME REALLY FUuCKED UP ADVISE, it seems u have ur OWN ISSUES to deal with

Answer 1

Your right and the boyfriend has not got a brain . Your sister needs medication and needs to be hospitalized if she is sliding down - you know what I mean - she doesn't know she is - she needs caring constant watches of her mood - get the boyfriend ,your mum and you for what they call a "family conference " at the hospital . If you are Public - ie - your sister is not paying - you may need to make a bit of a song and dance to get it but I have a feeling you are not the shy type - you obviously have stood up for your sister before . Get the family conference with dr , social worker etc to pinpoint this guy down to some reality check !!

Answer 2

Sounds to me like he has some medical project too. Its real that meds can probably reason liver damage, yet almost each and every drugs can. the prospect is so low that its no longer a difficulty. The bi-polar affliction seems to make people stay on negativity, any small difficulty can positioned them right into a panic attack, till their meds are real adjusted. She has to lose the guy, or basically get her to understand she needs the meds. the benefits very much outweigh the detrimental. If she keeps to brush aside her meds, she might want to locate herself hospitalized or maybe committed to psychological well-being. communicate over consisting of her relations, her widespread practitioner, her friends, she needs help and expertise.

Answer 3

When they are manic, everything sounds better to them and they become indestructible. Also their sex life might be better without her meds, that may be a reason why she won't take them. I know from dealing with a person in the family that has bipolar that they like manic side so much better, but one thing I can tolerate is how tricky they can become and the lies that they can concoct. Priceless.

Answer 4

Yes, absolutely! It sounds like your sister needs to dump the fiance. He is not going to help her get better at all. Not all medications make you gain weight. Eating healthy and exercising will help your sister anyway. Exercising helps relieve stress.

It sounds like your sister's fiance is oblivious to her disease. She needs to continue with her treatments, especially her medication. I would definitely give the doctor this information. If he goes to see her while she's in the hospital, it could hinder her recovery. In my opinion, he shouldn't be allowed anywhere near her. Too bad you couldn't get a restraining order against him, but I don't know if a judge would see this as a good enough case. It should be, because in a sense, he is verbally abusive against her.

Answer 5

her b/f needs to open his eyes,right he refuses to believe anything is wrong with her.yall did the right thing by admitting her in the hospital to get the treatment and get her back on her meds.the meds also help her whether he knows it or not.without being on the med she was consider as being a threat to her and anybody else.get her all the help and support that she needs and don't worry about her b/f just help your sister get better and my thoughts and prayers are with yall.

Answer 6

Your mother should be the one to contact the doctor, since the confidentiality of his case would preclude him listening to you. If she should go off her meds and cause harm to herself or others, who is responsible? How old is she? And somebody in the family should schedule him an appointment to sit down and discuss things with a counselor so he understands how it works and stops filling her up with mistaken notions.

Answer 7

This guy is so clueless, he's really not good for her. If you were overreacting, I'd take his side, but that really is NOT the case. Maybe he should be admitted, too. Yes, you should tell her doctor, her psychiatrist (if she has one) and maybe the boyfriend's mother, just for good measure. Maybe his family could smack some sense into him.

Answer 8

dude, you should DEFINATELY tell her doctor; if i was your sister i would want you to. all your doing is looking out for her well being, something he isn't, and if he REALLY loved her, he would know it would help.
