Does anyone know what is likely to happen in terms of treatment? She has been on and off anti-depressants since I was a child for bouts of mild depression, but this time she has had psychosomatic symptoms(following endless physical checks,the conclusion was that the source of her chronic nausea and pains were not physical), she has been depressed and not eating properly for over 3 months and the anti-depressants have not alleviated any of the symptoms this time at all.
Please, any MNers with personal experiences to share with or advice to give to a concerned daughter living abroad.
As a note, I have a difficult relationship with my parents - father recovering alcoholic, mother depressive = some personal "ishoos" for me over the years.
But I do love her and worry about what is going on...
