DAILY OBSERVER: The mother of Lateefa George, the 27-year-old woman who died suddenly last week, has spoken out for the first time.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Norma George told the Observer that her daughter \u2013\u00a0 who had been struggling with bipolar depression since the age of 19 \u2013 had complained of feeling mentally unwell a few days before her death.<\/p>\n

She decided to seek help and checked herself into Clarevue Psychiatric Hospital on September 4, the mother said.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Norma said she discovered her daughter in an unresponsive state at Clarevue when she went to visit on October 30.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

When I reached the women\u2019s quarters, I saw three nurses sitting there. I asked them \u2018where\u2019s my daughter\u2019 and they told me she was sleeping\u2026when I saw the child, she was lifeless,\u201d she told Observer yesterday.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was slanted on the bed with a pillow behind her back and her two hands stretched on her side. I embraced her and I started to cry to her \u2018Lateefa, Lateefa\u2019\u2026and she never responded,\u201d the mother continued.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The next day, George said she received a call that her daughter was at the hospital. She said she asked what was wrong with her daughter, but wasn\u2019t given an answer.<\/p>\n

At the hospital, the mother was told of the condition her daughter had arrived in.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cThe doctor told me that the ambulance that brought her did not get anything from her. No pulse, nothing,\u201d she said.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

George added that the family will retain the services of a lawyer and are waiting on the results of the autopsy that will detail the cause of her daughter\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

She said she was told by police that the findings will take approximately a month.<\/p>\n

Bipolar disorder is a mental illness that can cause someone\u2019s mood to swing from an extreme high to an extreme low.<\/p>\n

Symptoms of depressive episodes can include\u00a0lack of energy, feeling worthless, low self-esteem and suicidal thoughts.<\/p>\n
