Wow, you really have a lot on your plate and I just want to give you kudos for trying very hard to do the best you can for your daughter. What a challenge to sort this out, with the Mono, her now being in her teens and dealing with hormones, and more of a work load with high school courses. That is a lot to sort through, even for a professional so it is going to take patience from you to sort this all out.

What stood out for me also is the fact that your daughter is also on a new medication so that too could be something that may be contributing to her issues. It seems to me that her idealations of causing harm to others started with the change in medication, and from what I have read some antidepressants can pesent this issue.

I agree with kindachaotic about making efforts to find a new pdoc that can consider the medications she is taking and perhaps see if they can be adjusted. I respect your concern about the hospital perhaps causing more harm than good as well. That is something to consider and I hear you, cant blame you for being concerned.

I am not really sure about a therapist at this point because she may be reacting to the medication and if that is adjusted may improve her outlook and ability to concentrate in school. So I would address the medication first and try to get her stablized.

I can't tell you what to do as I am not a pdoc or specialist, I just wanted to offer my support and thoughts about addressing the medication and see if she can be helped with that first.

Good Luck, I hope you will find your way through this, let us know how you make out.
