Suggest Treatment For Anxiety And Anger In A Teenager

default
Posted on Mon, 23 Jan 2017
Question: My 18 year old daughter has always expressed anxiety and trouble handling anger. She tends to get violent with herself and lately with us, her parents. She is currently in a relationship and starting to show hatefulness with her boyfriend. We had her meeting with a psychiatrist when she was around 15 and she refused to talk. How can I help her? She is stubborn and tells us she doesn't care and tells us she wishes we were dead. There are great periods with no problems and then all of a sudden it blows up. I'm at a loss!

It seems personality disorder

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

From the available description it appears that she is dealing with borderline personality disorder. The period of abnormal behavior coupled with normal behavior in between most likely indicative of borderline personality.

The first and most important thing here is set dialogue with patient. This need to started during normal behavior period.

The second thing is to record her abnormal behavior and show those videos to local psychiatrist. This will help in her diagnosis.

I hope this helps you.
