[quote=Anonymous]Medication for my daughter's anxiety was life changing. She did CBT and other therapies fir years, but at some point it was not enough. She hit a crisis that she could not deal with, and was not able to use what she had learned in therapy to cope. Medication gave her the ability to begin to manage her anxiety again. It was a godsend, and helped her not only get her life back to where she wanted it to be, but improve her coping with anxiety. She has reached new goals, challenged herself, tried new things, all with the support of therapy and medication. I echo the PP above who uses the diabetes analogy about mental health medication. My daughter needs medication for her body to function properly, like a diabetic needs insulin. No shame, not looking to wean her off. If she chooses to find another medication/therapy combo, that is up to her and her doctor when she is an adult. [/quote]
