Borderline niece needs help
My niece started showing signs of mental illness when she went off to college. That was 2018. She has been diagnosed with borderline and she takes meds but she is not functional.
She looks crazy. Her hair is matted and her eyes are crossed and she doesn’t look at people straight when she talks. She talks incessantly about the past and her grievances.
She lives at home with my sister and her husband ——both are retirement age. The doctors give her meds but no real treatment. And she keeps switching doctors. She has her things everywhere in the house and sleeps in multiple rooms. When she goes for interviews they don’t call her back.
I don’t think she will ever live on her own.
Do people like this qualify for support and does SSI help them live on their own?
My sister is worried that she is going to give my brother in law a heart attack from the stress.
