[quote=Anonymous]DD, now 13, was snapping at us practically everything we said. Extremely unpleasant and would scream, occasionally throw things in a way that wouldn't break them or damage anything, but still not on the right path. She got her period and in the months leading up to that it got worse and worse. Turns out she has anxiety, which runs in the family so badly I joke we all need Zoloft in our water, and panic attacks. A low dose of Zoloft coupled with a return to therapy (she had stopped because she had kind of outgrown her therapist) with a new, cognitive behavioral therapy, has done a world of good. Very cooperative now, very rarely yells or has fits. She has her moments, as do the rest of us, but it turns out her brain was just a swirl of anxiety which we saw when she exhibited it in a "I'm anxious" kind of way, but didn't recognize when she was yelling at us. Even without the meds just recognizing the situation and working with it through therapy and household changes would have helped. School is onboard too and that has helped as well. [/quote]
