Hi everyone, I have read some of the threads on here and there are so many great people working so hard every day for their mental health and for those they love!
My question is in regards to DD 23. She has been seeing a psychologist for anxiety on and off for the past few years and had been doing really well until lately. They had been working with CBT. However, they both now feel that some anti meds may be the way forward for a while to try to stop her mind racing and worrying enough so that she actually action the CBT. The plan is that she would have some counselling alongside the meds, and they wean off them.
My question is; before she starts on the meds, could anyone advise me on if some blood tests would be a good idea before starting, and if so which ones?
I know that deficiency in Vit D can have a big effect on so much, but anything else?
Could hypnotherapy help? I could be crazy, but no harm in asking.
She takes the combined pill, but no other medication.
I have the usual mum fears, that she will never come off it, or that if it doesn’t work that she will feel that she can’t be ‘fixed’. It doesn’t take over her whole life, but it is definitely holding her back, which in turn probably does affect her whole life 🤷🏻♀️
Any help would be great. Thank you.
