Any suggestion for suffering from bi-polar disorder and refusing treatment?
human
My son lives with me and has been diagnosed with Bi-Polar disorder or three or four occasions.  He refuses medication or treatment of any kind and does not accept the diagnosis.  He is currently experiencing mania for approximately a month.  His physical appearance has deteriorated significantly, he has lost a lot of weight, has become a germmaphobe, has paranoia about all things government or electronic, can become extremely angry at a moment and become verbally aggressive among other things.  He does not see anything unusual about his behavior.  Hippa Laws to not allow me to be involved.  What can I do to protect both of us,

HiThanks for using healthcare magicI think, he needs admission in mental institute. Better to consult a psychiatrist and get him admitted there. This is the best way to protect both of you, otherwise in anger he could harm anyone. he needs immediate medical care, so call a mental hospital facility as soon as possible.Thanks
