Maybe give some free advice about: Mental health?
You really can't do much more than encourage
them to get help for themselves. If the person
needing help is an adult.
If it is a minor person and you aren't the
parent you should talk to the parent. If you
are the one needing help and are underage,
talk to your parents.
An adult can be helped, or held for 24 hour
observation if it is felt they could do harm
to themselves or others. In that case police
and/or emergency personnel would have to be
called. If mental health workers then determine
they could do harm to themselves or others a
court order for treatment could be issued.
Other than that there is nothing you can do to really help them.

bipolar is really hard to deal with and the person you're trying to help is probably really embarrassed about it.
medications can help a good deal, also going to a therapy place for it.
my boyfriends is going to florida for a month and staying in a inpatient center for his bipolar.
you just have to support them and try telling them that it's really effecting themselves and everyone around them.
