dayton52; I'm glad the new pdoc is decreasing her anti-d. Being inpatient is highly stressful and it's natural to want to bond with others. Add to it that you are both experiencing mental health issues and he or she may feel understood. In saying that at 15 she needs to concentrate on getting well and not chasing after a boy. This is easier said than done and I'm sure as a parent it's a very tricky situation on how to deal with it.
If you haven't considered it already I would suggest counseling for the family. The therapist will most likely have suggestions on how to support your daughter and the family will also get the support they need.
