bipolar mother during a manic episode triggered by family stress?
I'm 21 and the main caregiver for my mother (46). She has bipolar disorder and hypothyroidism. The past few days there's been heavy family conflict over finances, and it's triggered something in her.

Since this morning, she's agitated, speaking loudly, bringing up old past thoughts, and feels like everyone, including me, is against her. When I try to help or talk to her, she says, "I'm older than you, you can't tell me anything."

She's on her medication (quetiapine, lithium, lorazepam, thyroxine). I'm planning to call her psychiatrist tomorrow.

Right now she's still agitated. I've tried staying calm, not arguing, and offering chai. What else can I do? How do people here handle a parent who won't accept help during an episode? Any advice appreciated.
