Hi @Sania    It sounds like a really tough time for both you & your daughter at the moment. It's great to hear that you have booked an appointment with a Psychologist though. Are you getting some support too?   I understand that seeing a Psychiatrist or the possibility of medication for your daughter can seem scary, but wanted to reassure you that you & your daughter always have the choice of what you think is best for her. It's good to have as much information and support from different medical professionals, so you can make informed choices. Medication can be a great help for lots of people who are struggling. However, if you did decide to see a Psychiatrist it doesn't mean they will definitely recommend medication, or if they do, there's no obligation for your daughter to take it. Is there anything in particular that concerns you in regards to this?   Also just letting you know that I slightly edited your reply to remove the description of your daughter's self harming methods as we like to stay away from this incase it is triggering for any of our community members.
