[quote=Anonymous]Therapy only mildly worked for my kid. Went through several therapists. After several years of off and on tries, she eventually told me that talking about her problems didn’t ever help bc it was rehashing everything she was feeling low about. At about 17 her GP put her on Sertraline, helped a little, but caused apathy. One year later a different GP put her on Wellbutrin. She’s been doing fine since that. She’s 20 now and doing well. Don’t be scared of prescription therapy. And whoever is treating her, helping her, including you - she needs to learn coping skills when she is in depression, she needs to learn various ways of - exercising, meditating, going for a walk, reframing, etc. [/quote]
