[quote=Anonymous]Daughter, 11, seemed to be normal until early 2020. Puberty and extreme family illness and lockdown hit all at the same time.  Since then she has been increasingly what seems to be just plain some sort of mental illness. Lying about everything, stealing candy and food (from home) and hiding it in drawers and cushions, eating and leaving food everywhere on the floor and her bed, denial of her period and refusal to wear pads or bra, lashing out violently at parents and sibling, increasing apathy to schoolwork.  Sucked into social media world, doing duck lip selfies and screenshotting rap people with vulgar subject matters, long nails, matted hair, and generally apathetic and antisocial behavior at home and to a lesser degree at school.  This morning ( we are now very late as she is still in the shower, which she doesn't even do correctly or normally), I found that she had taken a pair of her wet pants from the washer and put them on her pile of clothes to wear to school.   What does this sound like? Early onset schizophrenia? She is almost 12.  She has become a different person completely since 2019.  Entirely different personality.  Seems like a criminal in the making with the lying, stealing, and general lack of empathy or self worth. She has a neuropsych in the fall scheduled, on the waitlist for earlier.  The wet pants are just a tiny, PG rated example.  Before that this morning she aggresively attacked and hit her brother (who is on spectrum) when he tried to get a pencil from the room she was in. What is this? I definitely feel that this is beyond my control to help her.  We tried therapy, she would just lie to the therapist (we could hear through the wall), and the therapist refused to see parents in sessions so we had to cancel. She constantly tells me to shut up, gives me the finger behind my back, etc etc etc.  The lying is constant. The lack of empathy is growing by the day. She has no remorse.  She also has OCD behaviors since 2020.  Only certain plates and cups she will use, has to touch them a certain number of times, anytime she touches me she has to wave away the contamination of me with her hands, etc etc. We have not yet had covid FWIW.  I think she needs medication, but what type? Her father is in denial. [/quote]
