Dealing with a family member with schizophrenia and a little bipolar. What is the best medicine and any information that will help?

Schizophrenia and bipolar and a controlling problem.

It all depends on what you mean by dealing? Are u caring for or considering caring for this person or just trying to find resources?

Dealing with anyone with these problems is hard. With BiPolar they have drastic mood swings. Meds help but my cousin says they make you feel weird. And Schzifrenics, they are in their own world. Both are unpredictable and unless a person has experience caring for these type of mental conditions as a layman I wouldn't even try. I knew a lady that in her manic stage shaved her head, gave away her food and furniture.

That’s a question for her psychiatrist. As far as schizophrenia there is a lot of information on the internet - Google is your friend.
