[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am in the mental health field and wildernesses therapy is known as dangerous quack treatment. It does sound like she has issues with anxiety and needs real treatment. Find a local pediatrician if you don't have one and start there.[/quote] 9:03 here. It depends on what you mean by 'wilderness therapy'. Our service providers (including well regarded psychiatrist, psychologist and developmental pediatrician) have highly recommended the Outward Bound type programs. In addition to Boy Scout camps/weekends, my 13 yo DS has done 2 Outward Bound programs and they've been immensely helpful. If your idea of 'wilderness therapy' is more like 'boot camp', I can understand your negative opinion. OP's DD needs more than a 'local pediatrician'. General practitioners (like pediatricians) don't have the expertise/experience/training to treat mental disorders. She needs a specialist.[/quote]
