They did. It's anxiety. [/quote]

Anxiety is the symptom not the cause. Depression is the symptom not the cause. The root is the underlying reasons for why the symptoms are occurring. [b]Any therapist or doctor will tell you this. [/b]

Also not sure why you’re fighting over he anxiety. That’s like fighting with someone who is super stressed. Would you just start yelling at them?

Get help for your daughter and possibly for yourself. [/quote]

I'm not OP but I am the one you're responding to. My father was depressed and anxious and I have been my whole life. I think I know what I'm talking about. sometimes people are depressed because of their genetics. There is no underlying cause, no problem to solve. Sure, therapy can help in conjunction with meds. Sometimes, therapy is all people need. But more often than not the BEST course of treatment is therapy AND meds (plus good eating, exercise and sleeping habits). And, no, any therapist or doctor will absolutely not tell you that they are just symptoms and not the cause.

And I wasn't yelling. I just corrected you. [/quote]
