My mom is bi-polar and takes medication..(Lithium)..She works a full time job, for PennDot and has been there for years...She is a very critical person, which sometimes I don't know if this is part of the illness or if this is her because she has been critical my whole entire life.....My mom refused medication until when she was in a "manic" state, (a high), we had to 302 her and get her committed into a psychiatric hospital, that is when we found out that she is bipolar..It took a while to stabilize her, but as long as she takes her medication, she seems to be able to function..good luck! I hope he eventually get help! Because in a High, they can be very talkative, not sleep and I don't know about other people, but my mom was doing crazy things while in a manic state before her diagnosis. We didn't know what was wrong with her.
