Suggest Treatment For Severe Anxiety And Panic Disorder
Consultation
Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.
I'm sorry your daughter is having such a tough time. However, there is good news: anxiety and panic can be fully treated with the right treatment regimen. This usually consists of a combination of medication (an SSRI antidepressant such as Lexapro or Zoloft) and psychotherapy (such as cognitive behavioral therapy). I would recommend she seek out a psychiatrist in her area who can provide medication management and therapy. I would suggest Lexapro and CBT as a beginning treatment -- I am sure she will get better over time.
