All you can do is to support their family and hope that at some point they will decide to seek help. It is really bad when people do not want to admit that they might have a problem.

And we feel justified in our actions. The recommendation for filming is a good one if your sister would allow it and I hope she will....hard to deny that which is put in front of our face.

Try to capture her family's natural reactions as much as possible. Had I been presented with this kind of visual proof, I could have gotten the psych community to medicate me for more than depression 15 years sooner! My beloved children and husband would have been spared as many years of behavior I couldn't -- but desperately wanted to -- control. God Bless them for still loving me (though they *like* me a lot better now!) Try video-taping your sister in her manic, depressive, and ‘normal’ states.
