Bipolar disorder, anxiety, schizophrenia

Hi. Since your mother has had severe symptoms such as illogical speech, mood changes, self-talk, and possible psychotic symptoms, it’s common for medication to be needed for several years, and sometimes lifelong, depending on the diagnosis and how many episodes she has had. The fact that she has been well for 1.5 years is a good sign, but it doesn’t necessarily mean the medicines should be reduced. Stopping or reducing them too early can increase the risk of relapse. Her psychiatrist is the best person to decide if and when a gradual dose reduction is appropriate, based on her stability and overall history.
