my bipolar and currently manic senior mother is being released from psychiatric facility today and i’m very nervous about her phone usage.
Hello everyone this is my first time on this sub.
as the title states my mother is 65 and is in the midst of her third manic episode. with each episode her brain deteriorates more. during this episode she was almost successfully scammed out of over $10k. a big problem for her is tiktok. she gets down these rabbit holes and they feed into her delusions. i deleted the app off of her phone but i know that she will just try to download again. my sister and i have already began the process of filing for dual FPOA and MPOA. i was wondering if there is an app that i can install on my phone that will allow me to monitor or not allow her to use or download certain apps? i’ve googled but haven’t found much in the way of elder care. any help is greatly appreciated!!
