How can I get my bipolar grandmother to get help?
My grandmother has every symptom of bipolar disorder. My mom and both of my aunts are nurses and they confirm that she is bipolar. We can’t get her to understand that she is sick and get help. We got her to go to the hospital once and they wouldn’t keep her involuntery and she wouldn’t stay. Not only am I worried about her and her health, but she is making my family miserable. She told us all that she hopes we die, and has caused a rift between my mom and aunts. How can we get her to get help? Has anyone ever had this problem?

telling her she ‘s sick won’t change her if anything it can make matters a tad bit more difficult, and it can make her feel picked on, i suggest a sympathetic ear, listening is a great way to get some people to open up about their problems, she may need to be around people who have the same issues she is experiencing perhaps try finding a support group for her that meets outside of a hospital setting when she sees that she not alone in her situation she’ll be more willing to ask for help on her own terms. but find a family support group that you can attend together. i wish you the best. your grandmother will be in my prayers.
