The Word Cloud

There has been a lot of recent discussion on the cloud about bi polar disorder or whatever you want to call it.  Lots of people have had some connection with it - or even have it. But would you be kind enough to give me a little bit of simple advice please?

It turns out that the long term partner of one of my in - laws family has this. In fact has had it for years, but apart from a period about four years ago when the drug companies stopped making her particular drug - and she was ill for months in hospital as a result, things have been fine.  And you would not have known there was anything wrong on the few major family get togethers we had....

For whatever reason of her own she has stopped taking her medication - and is now back in hospital because of it.  She is not in a good way, delusional etc - but she is asking to see me, and I want to go as I am very fond of her - and will help in any way.  But when I get into her room how do I start.... what do I say? Beyond a good cuddle and the mundane 'how-are-you- today?' type questions what really is best for her? Please reply asap as I am due to go in a couple of days......
