My DD, 15 is feeling ver low, probably depressed. She’s finding it hard to go to school, she’ll get dressed but just can’t seem to make it out the door to go to school. Effectively she’s become a school refuser. On days she doesn’t go she can be in bed all day. She stays in her room all the time, has friends but has become a bit isolated from them. In hindsight, I think this has been building up for awhile and Covid and GCSEs-have not helped. She is seeing a counsellor and is engaging with the counsellor. The GP is not ready to prescribe antidepressants and feels that talking therapies are the best at the moment. Her counsellor has suggested that she might try EMDR, (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing). Has anyone had experience with this therapy?
Maybe this should be up for another thread but DD has been taking Yasmin for two months for acne. She was feeling low beforehand but I am wondering if this might be making it worse. Any experience?
