Tough situation, but I can tell you what won't work. Prayer.
Medication and serious therapy with mental health professionals is what she needs. I have a niece with bipolar disorder and it took a while to find the right mix of meds, but once they did she got much better.

Do some serious research on the best doctors and therapists in your area and spare no expense. She won't get better on her own and there is not much you can personally do.

You've given the best advice in this thread and you have an up:down ratio of 1:5. And people wonder why this state is so fricked.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall and get the reality of the situation, because in most cases when this happens and a parent "leaves it up to god", they've also left a lot of other things up to god that might have been better dealt with here in the real world.
