My daughter,15, has had mental health issues for about 4 years. Currently she is on Lexapro for depression and anxiety. She felt some relief but suffered enormous mood swings. Abilify was added to treatment. It helped. She seemed better, but so tired all the time, sleeping 12 hours per day. Difficulty concentrating at school. Psych added vyvance, which helped w that. I wonder if there is another route.
DearWelcome to ChatDoctorWe understand your concerns went through your details. The given treatment route is correct and perfect. In this condition, your present psychiatrist knows the condition of your child better than anybody else. Over and above your child is having multiple mental health issues. In this condition, I strongly suggest, you should work with the present psychiatrist for a cure. I also suggest, behavior therapy and cognitive therapy plays a good role in the treatment. In your next visit to the psychiatrist mention these two and ask for his opinion and guidance. If you require more of my help in this aspect, please use this URL. http
