Hello, Bipolar disorder is of such nature. It becomes difficult to deal with mood swings in chronic cases if dose of drugs is not mantained or adjusted properly. Please talk to your psychiatrist about her illness and mood swings if she has any, even on medications. The dose of mood stabilisers would have to be adjusted. Thanks.
