Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your mother is taking bipolar medicines for the last 20 years. Therefore leaving the medicines without the consent of the doctor is never good. The best thing you can do to your mother is to convince her to restart the medicines and get psychiatrist's advise.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. K. V. Anand
