bi polar friend giving away 400,000 dollars is there anyway to save him..?

my friend is bi polar he lives in az he had a million dollars is retired and has already given away 400,000 in 9 days.. he thinks gary busi told him to do it cause he is god.. anyway we cant stop him he will be poor living on the street .. we called the 51 fifty police thay said no law against giving away all his money .. he rented 2 jets and took all the employees at dillards dept store in perfume to las vegas and gave them 10,000 to spend he says he’s mr america.. he got 10 golf carts at 10.000 a pice and gave them to waitress in his favorite diner..Help we cant stop him.. his family washes there hands of him.. we love him very much

Of course he seems bipolar, to those who said it doesn’t fit. This kind of behavior is common for people with this disorder (I would know, I have it!). It’s similar to a shopping spree during mania, very common side effect… People get so hyper and happy feeling they decide to blow all their money without thinking about the consequences.

Is he seeing a psychiatrist? I think the main thing you need to do is convince him to get professional help. Make sure you tell him that bipolar brings benefits too, it’s not only a curse. Then he may believe you. (When someone’s in mania they usually have a very high opinion of themselves, they feel larger than life… so telling him that he’s being crazy or that he’s ill probably won’t work. He’ll just brush you off because he’ll be convinced that what he’s doing is right.) Don’t lecture him about his behavior, he won’t listen- just tell him that he’s being very nice but that what he’s doing might be a problem down the line. Try to get him to do this in smaller, more reasonable steps. You could phrase it in a way that’s more positive- tell him to give money away, for example, in smaller pieces to people who really need it (like inner-city moms or immigrants, for example). This is also good because this way, when he comes to his senses he may feel better about himself (instead of thinking he’s crazy or an idiot, since he’ll obviously regret how he’s doing it now). I wouldn’t try to stop him cold, it won’t work, just try to get him to moderate it some and do it in a way that makes more sense. It will also let more time pass so his crazy mood might go away. He’ll probably think these are good recommendations, and then he’ll be more likely to listen to you when you encourage him to see a psychiatrist. Keep it positive whatever you do! If you phrase your recommendations to seek help in a positive way he might listen

Also, beware of manipulating him or lying to him (like some other people have recommended, the stuff about claiming that God or Mr. Busi telling him to do it…) Not that I think it’s wrong from a moral standpoint, I just think it will backfire. Just because someone’s manic doesn’t mean they’re an idiot, he will probably see right through it and be angry with you.

As soon as he’s in a rational state of mind again convince to put some backup money in an account with someone else’s signature. (Someone both you and he trust, like some people have suggested).

It’s terrible that his family is brushing him off. It’s nice of you to try to help him like this, I wish you the best of luck
