So dd2 has cp as a result of a birth injury. She’s 14. School called and suggested anxiety disorder/ OCD referral. Anxiety has been discussed (she has some quirks) and I asked them to consider physiological stuff too as I had a gut feeling that everything was linked. She’s also scary clever and has a known history of overthinking/ emotional over-sensitivity.
Anyhoo, I have set her up with MH intake for Feb, but I made the mistake of googling (yeah yeah I know). There do seem to be links between hypoxia insults in foetal or newborn period and anxiety disorders in adulthood. Anyone any experience of this? Who the hell does she need to see? Psych? Paed? Neuro? Eeeeee. Any advice welcomed - I thought we were through the complicated bit but now this extra facet is tearing up...
