Hi oky,
Any major mood or personality change needs medical attention - whether it is because of mental illness or not! I hope she will see a Dr, but unfortunately elevated mood states are often enjoyable and affect judgement. She is unlikely to accept there is anything wrong.
Try the book "Loving Someone with Bipolar Disorder". It specifically addresses how to cope with and help a spouse that is in a severe episode.
Best of luck to you!
