Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Dear Sir, I can understand how much stress you are facing.
Few option I can suggest.
You just go to some psychiatrist nearby with her old treatment records and may psychiatrist will help you to prescribe medicines if you want to take responsibility legally.
Another option home visit of a psychiatrist.
And if you are in trouble that she might harm herself or others , you can ask to police to take her to hospital for treatment forcefully according to Indian law, mental health act.
And if you can get medicines , it can be given in food and water as some preparation of halopridol, risperidone and olanzapine available to give patient in food which are tasteless and colorless.
I hope , I have answered your confusion.
thanks & regards.
