My 13 year old daughter has been diagnosed with Panic disorder and OCD. She was started on Zoloft about 3 weeks ago. She has been living with my mother and sister for the past 7 weeks (that's another story) and
has seemingly made some progress, but remains very, very moody. Her therapist called me today and said that she needs to be hospitalized because she is expressing a desire to "jump out a window" or "drink something poisonous". She is on 24 hour watch by my Mom and sister while we find her an adolescent hospital program. She did express relief and requested hospitalization. She said she heard a "woman's voice" yesterday, which is something she experienced about 5 years ago and it lasted for about 1 month. With some counseling, it seemed to disappear as mysteriously as it came on. We are looking into a program at UCLA and hope they have a bed available. Her psychiatrist does not admit patients so I have no idea what I am doing. Please help! Thanks AnneL
