[quote=Anonymous]OP, your original post made it seem like nothing was working but you subsequently made it seem like his anxiety is completely under control except for a single event every 2 or 3 months. Don't take it personally that we are confused, we are trying to help. Its just difficult to offer advice when we aren't sure what the real issue is. If the anxiety is so rare, why does the psychiatrist think he won't be able to access the CBT? And why are you afraid he will harm himself on an SSRI? If your concern about SSRIs have to do with the black box warnings about suicide please know that most child psychiatrists believe that there really isn't a basis for the black box warnings. Since they have gone on SSRIs, teen suicide rates have gone up because parents are afraid to use these meds. Unless there is something particular about your child, and you haven't indicated anything, I think you can take this off the list of concerns. [/quote]
