My dd is 15, she had been suffering with low moods for some time but recently told me she has been having suicidal thoughts. I got her into private counselling within days which she says is helping but we've seen little change in her moods and behaviour, it's affecting the whole family and causing arguments between me and my husband. I'm not keen on her taking medication but I'm starting to wonder if it may be the best option. She's been in counselling for 6 weeks, how long should I leave it before going back to the GP? I'm at my wits end. Any advice gratefully received.
