thanks for using HCM.
your daughter need evaluation that why is she Having such problems. It is quite possible that because of fall she might have suffered head injury causing these symptoms.
So a brain scan is must before starting any psychiatric drugs.
Second antidepressants are not useful in such situations.
Antipsychotic are helpful in such situations.
But an evaluation by psychiatrist is must before such drugs.
thanks and regards.
