[quote=Anonymous]SSRIs are commonly used for kids with anxiety. My 5 yr old is on a low dose of sertraline, due to anxiety and selective mutism - she spoke in a whisper at school and could barely talk but talked plenty at home. We did a lot of specialized therapy including an intensive out of state camp and she made great gains but it’s a constant struggle. Before we medicated, I went away on a trip for a few days and when I came back she couldnt even talk to me for the first hour - it was so sad. she also had explosive anger. After a year we finally moved ahead with meds and it has been so helpful- it’s not perfect and still doing therapy but it’s much better. She has friends, she’s going great in kindergarten, I have no regrets. We will eventually try to wean her off as she gets older and more confident.[/quote]
