hospital. If shes a danger to herself or others you have grounds to  force her...at least in Canada. Sec 22 of the mental health act. She needs you to advocate cuz shes not of right mind. Im bipolar and thats what I would hope for someone to do.We did nothing for my dad and he committed suicide successfully. This is not an illness to mess with ...please..get her help NOW!!!
