If hes a threat to himself or others (in my state ...Florida) their are laws that help people and allow for involantary treatment.

Maybe you could start with your local mental health clinic.....like a state health department and see if they can direct you

theres also the option of putting him out of your home..............but as a mom of a 17 year old who was diagnosed just last year as BP I know that this would be more than I could bring myself to do ~~~
luckly right now my son "remembers" what he felt like when things started getting messed up in his head.......so he willingly takes his medication
unfortunately he still thinks its ok..if he "smokes a little weed with his friends every once in a while"

we battle this point and for now it seems hes complying My heart goes out to you, wish I had more advice but I too am new to this ..........
there are many here that have alot of experience and they will be along soon,,,,,,,,,
