[quote=Anonymous]It's possible that a blood sugar crash combined with poor emotional regulation skills and lack of impulse control results in these outbursts. It doesn't have to be some woo medical thing or BPD or abuse so much as a combination of circumstances. You can't medicate BPD specifically, but she could learn better emotional regulation and communication skills. You didn't say what age of teen, but honestly at all ends of the teen spectrum, there are a lot of big feelings and never quite enough emotional regulation. It's part of the development, but in some kids, it can get really toxic like this or dangerous as with self-harm, substance use, etc. Sometimes it's a parent/child relationship problem in which y'all need to learn better parenting strategies for her and communicate with her more effectively.

Either way, I agree that getting her some kind of mental health help would be good, especially since you say she's remorseful. I don't know that a psychiatrist is going to be better for this situation than a good psychologist or clinical social worker, so I'd probably start with one of those. [/quote]
