How to approach a loved one about getting screened for a mood disorder
Would love any advice or suggestions on how to broach the subject respectfully. A little background:
Late 20s adult child diagnosed with ADHD taking Adderall, SSRI, & Bupropion has a long history of long stages of depression and impulsivity. Neither has been severe enough for hospitalization. Relationships with peers & significant others (online with people in other countries) intense then crash and burn. Seems to be stages of hyper sexuality. Maintains a job and takes care of themself financially but is constantly testing the limits and bending the rules. Sleeps a lot and struggles with cleaning house and the themself. Also asked if anyone else feels and hears electricity.
At the moment, planning a trip alone to a see an online boyfriend in a foreign country they’ve never been in hopes of returning to the US and getting married. Deeply concerned. All that to say this person is an adult. This is their life. But several family members, myself included, think there may be an undiagnosed mood disorder. There is a history of bipolar disorder on both sides of the family.
Really don’t want to overstep boundaries here. Again, any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
