[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are they already in treatment for anxiety or depression? If so, their therapist or psychiatrist can evaluate if a higher level of care is needed.[/quote] yes they are seeing a psychiatrist and on medication for anxiety and depression. [/quote] You should make an urgent appointment to discuss with them. They know better than we do.[/quote] I agree with this - maybe a med change is needed. My 19yo has anxiety and depression, and has been on a combo of lexapro and wellbutrin for 2y. It's the lexapro that seems to work for the self harm. Her self harm seems to arise from the anxiety. She did some CBT/general therapy before meds and continued that for awhile. Eventually, moved to a sports psychologist as she felt she needed specialized therapy at that point. [/quote]
