> I think it's wonderful that you are able to understand your daughter so well, and describe her symptoms so clearly, despite the enormous distress her condition must be.causing you. I think you are getting some very good suggestions from people who know a lot about bipolar illness; I hope at least one of them really helps her.
I agree with this very strongly.
> One thing caught my attention: how, under stress, she begins to distort her feelings about others' motives. Do you think this is something that psychotherapy might help her with? In addition, if you found a really good therapist, it would be an additional source of support, which might make things a bit easier for you. I realize that she has two neurologically based illnesses, but the interpersonal stresses resulting from them might be helped considerably by a caring therapist.
I agree with this very strongly.
You're good.
