[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you grapple with this? My daughter is using her [b]low Xanax script[/b] as a catch all for everything wrong in life. I have college professor friends who say they are bombarded with emails from kids blaming everything on anxiety, requesting extensions, extra time on exams, etc.[/quote] OP, first off, was your DD actually diagnosed with anxiety or was she just given a prescription b/c she complained of anxiety? Xanax is addictive and can easily turn into abuse. I would report any doctor who would give this to teen or young person. That seems incredibly irresponsible. If she truly has anxiety, she needs to be on a mood stabilizer, e.g., anti-depressant that she will take every day for the long term. She may need a full assessment if she hasn't already. CBT would also probably be useful if she's having trouble dealing with every day life. [/quote] +1 all of this![/quote]
