What ethical values are involved when treating someone with bipolar depression?


If the person with bipolar disorder is in the middle of an episode what are the ethical values involved as far as medication goes. Also how much can a family member do if the person refuses medication but they are putting themselves and others at risk? I'm just trying to find out general information relating values of ethics, the family, individuals, and the community to bipolar depresssion.

Where bipolar is involved the treatment should be from a professional and that professional can tell their loved ones what to expect and what to do. They have been trained in that field. My experiences are do not stress them out because stress is one of the triggers. Try to see if they can get a good night sleep. Sleep and a good diet and a friend like you to be there for them is a good start to recovery. Good luck. I wish you the very best.

There are ethics involved in treatment of everyone. Can you be a little more specific about the situation?
