[quote=Anonymous] OP - I can't say your daughter's therapist has been very proactive and I wonder if she as a therapist has a bias against medication use. If so, you really do need to find another therapist. The recommendation for a psychiatrist who does the counseling, too, could be very important if DD was comfortable with him in that he would know first-hand how the medication is going and also be handling the therapy intervention and support, too. It is often a balancing of the meds to stabilize with therapy and then as progress is made adjusting and in time possibly reducing meds as less is needed. If you think DD would work better with a female therapist then maybe stay with the present one as you add in the medical doctor. [/quote]
