Close Anxiety Disorders in Children
My daughter is 16 years old and is struggling with Depression, Social Anxiety & OCD for over 2 years. She has been hospitalized a couple times because of these problems and being suicidal. She is receiving ECT (shock therapy) currently along with counseling. She has been taken off meds while she undergoes the ECT treatments. She has tried numerous different meds. in the past. She has failed 10th grade because she missed a great deal of school. I am worried and afraid for her.
