That is definitely something that would be of a concern. Bipolar, as we know contains symptoms of high manic behavior and low depressed behavior, which is why the disorder can be dangerous. It's always very important to be under a medical team or a mental health care team particularly, if you're having a hospital stay.
If you would have been under medical supervision, to leave a hospital stay and take yourself off medication without the support and guidance of your health care professional can be dangerous. So, it's a good thing to get back engaged with mental health care team in order to support your father.
