[QUOTE="Andy, post: 264205, member: 5096"] Also keep in mind that some medications take a few weeks to really start working. I would think that a psychiatrist would have more options for you and have worked more with the variety of medications. My difficult child has deep anxiety (nothing else diagnosed). He sees a psychologist for counselling and the psychiatrist for medications. If the psychiatrist can gain her trust, he/she may be able to refer her to someone he/she works closely with and trusts. Was her previous therapist a male or female? I am a strong believer that girls should see female therapists and boys should see male therapists because no matter how much we as adults know that either will work, the kids are more comfortable around their same gender doctors. I am also one that hates the "m" word. However, difficult child was off for 3 months and after another panic attack that followed a migrane, begged to be put back on. The hard part it sounds like is to convince her that the medications alone will not work, she does have to put some effort into this if she wants it to work. [/QUOTE]
