Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. ADD and anxiety are mental disorders and you should have known by now that these mental disorders cannot be cured with the help of only medicines. Change in life style, thinking pattern and understanding the mental illness is the first step towards the cure. Usually, a combination of medicine, psychotherapy, meditation and exercises are given to these patients. As your daughter is already under psychiatric treatment, you should talk to the psychiatrist about psychotherapy and meditation. He will direct you to a psychologist.
