[QUOTE="Crayola13, post: 732139, member: 21066"] An appointment with her primary care doctor is where I would start. After she talks to the doctor alone, he or she advise you on what to do. She may or may not have an anxiety disorder or any other condition. Yoga can help her shut her mind off and go to sleep sometimes. It's not that there aren't natural treatments for less severe mental illness, but until she has been properly evaluated, we can't know what the problem is. We don't know if taking the pills was a one time thing. I don't know what she took or how much, but what if next time she takes five Xanax? Labeling someone with the correct diagnosis band getting proper treatment allows him or her to learn better coping methods and gives the kid the tools needed to be a successful adult. Dealing with this as a family now is proactive so that the years from now, she isn't struggling alone in the adult world. If there is not a serious problem, maybe just having someone to talk to and healthy hobbies are all that is needed. Until she is evaluated, you don't know. [/QUOTE]
