my college sophomore daughter is battling anxiety and depression. how can i help her?
Question:
Answers:
I am sorry that this is happening to your daughter. Offer her a sympathetic ear and assure her that the depression and anxiety will go way. Contact the people who love her and ask them to give her a call. If you can, pay her a visit. Were it my daughter, I would ask her straight out if she is having thoughts of suicide. If she answers in the affirmative, I would get her to a hospital right away. Ask her to sign a release so that you can talk to her doctors.
i think it better to know the root of her anxiety/depression. as the saying goes, its all in the mind. from knowing the cause, then necessary steps can be taken. talking to a counselor is good, but its very much possible that she confides with her friends. i think its best to check up on her friends first. knowing the peers of your daughter can really enlighten you on how well to approach her
