Her anxiety must be pretty severe, nothing has worked to control it?

No. One stinking neurologist diagnosed her with Tourette's last year and that totally threw her off course. She went down a totally different medication path that didn't help her at all.
Since then, other therapists have told her she doesn't have Tourette's but for some reason she clings to that diagnosis like a tic (no pun intended, lol). Maybe it's because it 's a neurological disorder as opposed to mental health. She doesn't have Tourette's. She clears her throat a few times or notices herself blinking and BAM she obsesses on it. OCD. She gets brain stuck on these little functions and they become a huge issue for her. Throw in serious social phobia and depression and you've got a kid who doesn't leave the house. In her world, if she can't get rid of the Tourette's she'd just assume die. Even if she HAD Tourette's people learn to live with it. I'm asking Rogers to work on all of that. Give her a real diagnosis and help her with the social fears/depression so she can cope with the tapes in her head (I have to blink, I have to blink... ). And drugs. I want her back on an SSRI which should help her with the OCD, depression and anxiety. Actually, I've read Prozac might be just the one for her.
