You are most welcome MotherofThree. I can appreciate that you must be feeling overwhelmed and frightened by this situation, but I'm also going to assume that what you most want is for your daughter to be well.

I'm also going to pass the name of a doctor to you who might have some additional insights for you. His name is Dr. John Breeding and he has a number of videos on youtube that directly address the matter of hallucinations and psychosis. You will likely find it informative to invest 20-30 minutes in watching them.

In addition, Dr. Breeding also has a website called The Wildest Colts Make the Best Horses. That site was created to address the issue of children and ADHD but you may find a great deal of material there that applies to your daughter's situation as well. I noticed that Dr. Breeding also has an e-mail address listed at that site. It's possible that if you contact him, he might be able to recommend some doctors or other resources in your area that will be beneficial for your daughter.

The following video may also be informative...

This is a difficult video to watch because the brave individuals who came forward to testify (and agreed to have their testimony recorded on video) lay bare very personal details of their lives that led to them being “bombarded by drugs,” rather than receiving other forms of support and therapy that would have been more appropriate. Particularly egregious examples are the multiple reports of people who were severely medicated as children or teenagers, rather than being rescued from severe physical, emotional, and sexual abuse at home and in school.

If anything, these heart-rending stories remind us of the danger of solutions looking for problems. With today’s growing arsenal of psychotropic medications, marketed heavily by the pharmaceutical industry, it is all too easy and tempting for physicians to turn to masking symptoms or controlling behaviours through chemical interventions, rather than helping an individual with underlying causes of personal turmoil.

Watch the video, and think carefully about the effects of being

Best of luck to the both of you.
