[|AI|]  His understand your concern. Frankly speaking you have to consider re diagnosis? Defiantly it was bipolar, but now it can be like psychotic illness or dementia. Need to reach proper diagnosis to treat him better way. Now in this case it is difficult to treat him at home, so please do get him admit in hospitals. Some physical investigation is also necessary to rule out because of age there are medical co-morbidity in this age. So it is multi functional approach to treat him properly. Do proper consultations. I hope I have answered your query. Still have a query then ask freely. Happy to help you. Thank you.
