What should one do with your flatmate who's getting ill with manic depression?

Question:

She can't see that she is busy getting very ill, and would therefore refuse going to her psychiatrist. Should I wait until she really gets totally psychotic or should I raise alarm. She will never forgive me if I do have her committed.

Answers:
Can you reach out to her relatives? They should know if she is getting ill. Don't wait till she gets psychotic. She needs help before it gets to that point.

Try cheering her up, leave self motivating notes all over the house. On the bathroom mirror, the fridge, over the sink, by a light switch etc. Write things like you are the best, you are a miracle, Smile your a great person, Each Day is a new beginning, Count your blessings each day starting with your self. You do not have to tell her they are for her just put them up. Good luck!
