Many of you have been kind enough to help me with my 15 year old daughter, offering advice and encouragement.
Yesterday she was discharged from an inpatient program at 3:00 and by 5:00 we were back in the emergency room with her threatening suicide again. We moved her to a different hospital in that has an excellent reputation, and the first thing the psychiatrist did there was change the medication (taking her off the zoloft slowly, as many of you observed ought to have been done earlier) and upping the seroquil.
Complicating things now is that she has formed a strong emotional attachment to a boy she met during the last inpatient stay. The staff there said under no circumstances should any of the kids start hanging out with any of the other patients once they are discharged. Now she's obsessing over seeing this boy. I'm not sure what to do.
