I found a male Phd professor

of psychology talk to my husband. He made it very black and

white for my husband. He said 1) we didn't cause the problem

2) your wife is not the problem 3) your (our) daughter has a medical

issue and needs treatment.

That was what I needed. From then on I try to look at

it that I am being responsible and getting her the help

she needs.

Cutting is scary.

There are psychologist that treat people with

Borderline Personality disorder (BPD). BPD patients

(mostly all girls) have huge mood swings and do self harm.

Definately she needs medication to calm her. If you started

at a low dose of SSRI it is unlikely to have made her

worse. What is the medication and what is the dose.

Can the doctor prescribe an anti-anxiety drug like

xanax just temporarily until the anti-depressant

works? How old is your daughter?

> Liz,

> I do understand how you feel...I am a mom of three and my eldest recently was

diagnosed with OCD. It is quite difficult to deal with the mood swings from

aggressive to depressed, the fact she looks herself in her room because she does

not want her siblings or dad to know she is constantly repeating an action. Her

dentist said her enamel is wearing away because of the number of times she

brushes her teeth. My two younger children are trying to understand what is

happening but they feel I am letting her rule the house. My husband is very

traditional Indian and does not believe there is anything wrong with her.

Despite my explanations of this is a genetic problem, he feels " there is no one

in either of the two families who is crazy " I am at wits end trying to make him

understand. She started with SSRI last Wednesday and yesterday I found her

cutting her wrist!
