Hi there, my 70 year old father has been a long sufferer of bipolar.
I am now his main caregiver as i have returned home to Australia after many years away.
He has been in and out of treatment but from what i can gather he has never had a clear path or stayed on medication.
He was hospitalized about 5 years ago after a manic episode and now he has been bed ridden since early June and is not allowing family intervention or anyone into his space.
I am obviously worried and not sure what steps i can take if he is unwilling to leave his room or even speak to me.
Would love to get him on a medication plan or a hospital stay but unsure of how to proceed.
Thank you and looking forward to any advice. He is also based on the northern beaches NSW
