Hi,
thanks for using health care magic.
Your father can be hospitalized for the bipolar mood disorder. You need to consult psychiatrist for the detailed evaluation and treatment.
As Insight is usually lost in Bipolar Mood Disorder with psychotic features, Sometimes patient may not be willing to take medicines.
As your father is non-compliant to the treatment, some liquid antipsychotic drugs like risperidone or olanzapine and divalprorex sprinkle may be of some help. these drugs can be mixed into his food out of the knowledge of patient. h e may be benefitted with long acting anti psychotics like risperidone injection.
thanks

Hello.........
Thanks for your query. Bipolar mood disorder is primarily treated with medication and treatment without medication might not benefit him. If the patient is not compliant on medication, the treatment would include:
1. Use of suspension/sprinkle formulations of antipsychotics
2. Use of long acting depot intramuscular antipsychotic injections

Hospitalisation would be helpful to start this process and ensure drug compliance. Wish him good health and early recovery. Kindly do not stop medication without the instructions of your treating psychiatrist.
