[quote=Anonymous]Have you tried a therapist? Seems as if she needs one. Have you tried a diff SSRI? Seems as if she might be able to tolerate one that isn't what she's had before. Or an anti-anxiety? Have you looked for cancer? That is precipitous weight loss. She can, of course, take control of her death by not eating. But it isn't that easy to do. A lot of people can do it for a few days and then start to eat again. That said, it can take quite a long time especially if she is drinking water. Even without drinking it can take over a month. It's not a painful way to go though particularly. It's more like a shut down. Does she have a living will directive? You'll likely need that as well. [/quote]
