Hi I Have 16 Year Old Girl Who Is Being
Hi I Have 16 year old girl who is being treated for anxiety for last 2 years. She is under care of psychologist and psychiatrist. She is treated with an SSRI Fluoxitane 40mg.
I have noticed that since her menstrual cycle has become more established and predictable her mood the week prior to her cycle starts is so low with self harming and avoiding social contacts. She becomes more paranoid around others as well. We are tired of the emotional drain on the rest of the family . Do you think an assessment of her hormones would be an idea?? Also there is a strong familial link with women on her fathers side of the family with anxiety, fibromyalgia, biploar.
