New here; here for support.

Hi everyone,

I’m new here, I’m a parent of 12 year old who was diagnosed with conversion disorder, odd, depression and anxiety. In need of support.

She came home from school one day and about a couple hours later she was sitting on her bed and was non verbal. We took her to the hospital where she stayed for 5 days. She was diagnosed with conversion disorder in he ER. She started having panic attacks in the hospital after being admitted. Two of the five nights she was agitated and was restrained one night and given Ativan and Haldol.

We came home and she’s had panic attacks since being home. I’ve started to see a pattern, when she speaks about stressful things she goes into a panic attack. As her mom, I’m her primary care provider, all of her care is from me. When the panic attacks occur I’m usually with her, she’s had one at school and one at home during a time while she was home with my son who is older.ive been scared for her and for what is happening to her. Yesterday she had a panic attack while in the car after reading mail addressed to her from our insurance carrier, the mail was about managing her care, she went into a panic attack. She then came too and got out the car and ran away from me. I️ chard her through out community and we sat on the ground and she came too and asked why we were sitting outside. I’m exhausted almost. The counselor and doctors have recommended an SSRI; however, I’m really afraid after reading the harsh side effects. I’m in need of emotional support. We live in another state and our family is back home.
