Generalised Anxiety Disorder

[Mowgli1970]

My dd aged 10 is suffering from GAD I think. Does anyone have any experience of this? Has your child received treatment on the NHS or privately? G.P. is referring her to child psychologist, but I was wondering if anyone had first hand experience and advice?

No-one?

I'd like to know more about this too?
Anyone out there?
Thanks

I had this as a child, started when i was 7. Unfortunately i wasn't taken to the GP so can't help with info about that but just wanted to say you are doing the right thing taking your DD to be referred to a psychologist. I wasn't taken to the GP and an only just seeing a psychologist now at 24 having suffered with it for 17 years :(

Good luck, hope DD feels better soon.

I've just read this msg, thought I was the only one! I'm waiting for a referral to a child psychologist. I also went to her school and met with her teacher and the Head to discuss it. They said she was fine in school, which made me think either they don't know her very well, or she's managing to hold it together in school and it's all coming out at home.

Noellefielding, try this book from Amazon I recognised my daughter in one of the case studies.
