Hello,

My daughter is 22 years old and suffers from and was diagnosed with having severe depression, social anxiety/avoidant personality disorder, general anxiety and "occasionally" suffers delusions such as believing her teeth are falling out and that people are watching her. I quote occasionally because I believe it happens more often than that.

She has been hospitalized three times for suicide attempts and began seeing a therapist soon after the third hospitalization. She's recently quit therapy after going for a little less than a year and will not tell me why, only that "I wouldn't understand." While seeing a therapist, she refused to try any medications. She rarely leaves the house and when she does she has panic attacks. She also has them often at ho
The other day I changed around the living room—nothing drastic, just moved the coffee table to the other side of the room. She freaked out. She said that it "wasn't right" and that the coffee table had to be where it was previously that it "just wasn't right." I don't know what exactly upset her. Now, she doesn't like being in the living room. When she's there she appears so anxious and leaves seconds after entering. What could cause this behavior?

I want so much to help my daughter get through this all. She is due to start college in January as an Engineering major but regardless of her intelligence, with her anxiety, depression and possibly other problems I don't know how she can be successful. I feel that she needs medicine or at least to see someone about it all. I just want my daughter back. I want independence for her. I want to see her happy.

I guess what my wall of text's goal here is to ask for some kind of guidance and advice. What can I do for her? I hate seeing her suffer this way.

Thank you for your time.
