Suggest Treatment For Rapid Cycling Bipolar Disorder

Hi. My daughter lives in Toronto and told me, last week, that she was diagnosed with rapid cycling bi-polar disorder. The thing is, she has completely sucked my husband and I out of all of our money; even our retirement fund. She cannot keep a job, and I believe she doesn't really want to work at all. She said she met with the psychiatrist for one appointment - to be evaluated, and that was when he diagnosed her. He told her to make a follow-up appointment with her GP so they could decide on what medication she should take. I am convinced she is lying so that we will keep giving her money. the psychiatrist also told her she needs to apply to CCP for disability pension. She likes to live like a Hollywood star, and her friends all have lots of money; one of them is a psychiatrist. I am so afraid she is lying to me. If she is should I confront her?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I can understand. In my opinion, you can always go and stay with her for a week or so and see how her behavior and other manners are like. Or you could stay near to her house without her knowing you are there. Observe her for symptoms of any mental disorder.

You will get symptoms of mental disorders from internet. Use them to vaguely diagnose her and then you can come to a decision. If she is trying to siphon off your hard earned money, you can always resist it, if you have knowledge about her behavior. Nothing wrong in that. Take care.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, please use this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
