Hi Angie,
Thanks for your message. It is definitely a combination of the two. And we don't know what behavior is the bipolar and what is the drugs. And yes, you are right - her mental illness is absolutely stuck (and getting worse) as long as she keeps using. We've told her one million times that if she uses or drinks it will negate the impact of her prescribed meds for the bipolar. She claims she can control herself. Yet she has proven time and time again that she cannot. I guess we just have to let go and hope she decides to sober up. ;(
