[quote=Anonymous]OP, depending on where she is located, a social worker may be able to go in and help her once a week, or more. I think they are called well checks. Can you try starting with the Department of Mental Health, or NAMI? She needs someone to help her take her meds, at least. I think they will also help (go with her) grocery shopping, make sure she is living in decent circumstances, etc. I have an ex who was in this field, in another state. This is a difficult situation for you to be in. You don't have to be "all in", and you can participate to the degree you feel necessary, but it might be nice to know that your sister is safe. Does she live alone? I don't know if this illness gets worse without meds, but I would suspect it does, which is why I ask. It might be worth getting a social worker involved, and asking them what to possibly expect (they won't be able to predict with absolute certainty, of course). [/quote]
