HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic
In bipolar disorder, the treatment of choice is mood stabilizer with antipsychotic. That would help her controlling mood swings. It would be better if she does not handle financial matter. You can engage her some another activity like household chore, handling garden etc. That would keep her busy in some work. Try to maintain her on medications. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
Thanks
