Hello,
I need some advice, because I am at a complete loss. Recently my daughter was diagnosed with depression after an overdose. She is 15 and has always had mood swings and anger management problems, but after the overdose things have become worse than ever.
She was put on Prozac which does help when she takes it. Lately, she has developed a pattern of ditching class at school and running away. I have removed her cell phone and her Facebook which she was using to contact friends to come pick her up.
This week has been hell. She has run away once, threatened and pushed me so badly we had to call the cops twice. Once she told me to watch it while I am sleeping.
Tonight she is in a rage over her cell phone. She is up in my face, yelling throwing stuff, tearing up her room. She can't seem to rein it in. Its just getting worse and worse. I walk away from her but she will follow me around to yell and be verbally abusive for hours on end. It is much worse this week than it ever has been before. I have placed a call to her psychiatrist, but I don't know what he can do to help. We are scared of her and my son is suffering because of her outrageous behavior. Any ideas or suggestions will be great!
