Consult with a psychiatrist and give all the history

I can understand how deeply concerned you are for your son, and it’s not easy to watch a loved one struggle with bipolar symptoms, especially after a manic episode. Even though he seems better after a week of treatment, his reluctance to take medication and refusal to see a psychiatrist are warning signs. Manic episodes often cause increased social activity, impulsive spending, and neglect of self-care, and without proper treatment, there is a high risk of relapse or worsening symptoms. The challenge is that during mania, a person may feel “fine” and not recognize the need for help, which makes it difficult to convince them to take medication or seek treatment. If he refuses medication, psychotherapy and lifestyle changes can still help, but they may not be enough to stabilize his mood in the long run. You can try motivational interviewing techniques—rather than forcing him, approach him with understanding and small, manageable steps. For example, encourage him to track his spending without immediately asking him to stop or help him build a routine that includes basic self-care like bathing. Meanwhile, gently introduce the idea of therapy, as it can help regulate emotions and behaviors without the immediate pressure of medication. However, if his spending remains uncontrolled and starts affecting his finances, intervention may be necessary to prevent long-term consequences. I know this is overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate this alone.
