[quote=Anonymous]You need to take control of the situation if she is struggling and tell her she needs to try drugs to see how she responds to it. Yes it is scary but mental illness can spiral out of control and that is also scary. I know - I was medicated for anxiety for 10 years. I felt an improvement immediately but it then took me two years to recover from the trauma of being in a constant anxiety state. The trauma from experiencing the terror of being out of control, was worse than the anxiety itself, if that makes sense. Once I processed the trauma I was too afraid to drop the meds and revert back so it took me 10 years before I was confident enough to revert back. So my bottom line to you is - do not allow your daughter to traumatize herself and cause compounding problems, simply out of fear of medication.[/quote]
