I would give her the Mental State Exam and possibly start her on haloperidol 5 mg PO if she has not had previous seizures, problems breathing, liver or heart problems. I assume she doesn't have glaucoma.

Obviously I'm mostly kidding.

Isn't haloperidol mainly for schizophrenia/mania/psychosis and stuff like Tourette's, rather than bipolar?

I think it was like ~4 years ago before the big break.
