My daughter was diagnosed as a manic depressive when she was 15. She was placed in an unit because she tried to commit suicide . She was on Zoloft , then she was of age an stopped her meds and didn t go see her doctor any more. She started doing drugs, meth , mariguna (misspelled) an pills from friends. Her house was raided, boyfriend in prison an children in state custody. For the last month she told me she had been thinking about committing suicide, still using meth by shooting up. Howcan I get her help?

Hello....... Thanks for your query. Manic depressive illness is  a psychiatric illness that worsens with drug abuse and leads to a vicious cycle. She requires a thorough psychiatric evaluation and management of both drug abuse and manic depressive illness. An inpatient setting will be ideal for treatment. Hope you found the information useful.
