Suggest Management For ADD And Hypochondria

I think my 23 year old daughter may be a Hypochondria. She was diagnosed as a child with ADD. How could I go about talking to her about it and not making her think that I as her mother thinks she is nuts. She lives in another state and I cannot talk to her face to face. Can you help?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Hypochondriasis is best treated when the patient becomes aware of the problem. Your daughter should be aware of it. Either you should tell her or leave this task to a psychologist or a psychiatrist. Treatment to ADD and hypochondria is most successful when medicines are combined with psychotherapy. Please consult a psychologist and request treatment methodology.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
