I’ve got a question and I hope there is someone out there to help. My daughter was diagnosed with depression nearly a year ago. Her psychiatrist said there is a very good chance she is bipolar. She has been suicidal and has spent time in a psychiatric hospital. She is a teenager. Her father is opposed to drug treatment for her. She takes her medicine all on her own. She oftern forgets. I am concerned that she is missing doses because of the problems that can cause. She is suicidal again and her drugs should be locked up and administered by her father. He refuses. Do I have recourse? He and I share placement. I am concerned she will try to kill herself with the week’s worth of pills I send to her father’s house every other week.

My ex husband often disagrees with my daughters diagnosis. He says everyone who is bipolar is faking it. He is the most narrow minded person I have ever met. He tells her all the time that she is not ill and there’s nothing wrong with her. She is more upset when she sees him.
