Being in the medical field, it appears she is suffering from Bipolar Disorder, Manic type. I don't know the full extent of her psychiatric eval but she definitely needs help. In the states, the doc signs a document called an OPC which is then approved by a judge allowing the medical team to hold the patient without their consent, especially if they are a danger to themselves or others. Manic episodes are characterized by grandiosity (running for vp etc), decreased need for sleep (cant confirm), increased talkativeness (we all saw the interview), disinhibition (high risk activities with potential painful consequences), impaired occupational functioning (dont know what happened at ktn but she quit her job). This is from the DSM IV diagnostic criteria. The treating psychiatrist should recognize that at this stage she is unlikely to cooperate. Esther needs to be on an atypical antipsychotic and a mood stabilizer. A benzodiazepine may be used acutely until the other two classes of drugs begin to take effect. I hope she gets help soon. Thanks. Sad story,
