Received Polio Drops, Anxiety, Depression, Irregular Heartbeat, Headaches, Diarrhea, Hair Loss. Glandular Fever?
Morning, in 2007 we received polio drops and 4 months after that my daughter (then 7 years old) got the mums.
In 2008 she had sort of a nervious breakdown and since then she have severe anxiety depression. She is now 13 years and have been on two different anti depressants. None of the doctors ever test her for anything, instead they treated her only with these pills. She has / had there sympoms on and off since 2008:
Sleep problems
Anxiety
Irregular heart beat
stomac aches
head aches
Heat intolerance
diarree
hairloss
light headed
extreme mentrual cramps
I have read a lot about glandular fever and was wondering if she rather had this then the mums that she was diagnosed with AND most importantly: Was this the cause of her anxiety and can it be cured?

sometimes, such viral illness can give rise to anxiety and depressive symptoms. in such cases treatment response to antidepressants is usually good.
But, in your case looking at your description, it may not be entirely of such scenario
I would opine, add 'psychotherapy" to the ongoing medication
