  • What kind of therapy is best for autism?

    Hello, Thank you for reaching out. This is not a one answer is the best. A diagnosis of Autism is not cut and dry. It is a spectrum diagnosis. Meaning that your daughter's diagnosis falls on a continuum of mild to severe. Where does she fall? After a proper assessment for Autism, you can work to find an Applied Behavior Analysis that you find is a good fit for your daughter and your family. I would also consider family and individual therapy to manage the possible challenges that may come up. But keep in mind, it will depend on where she is on the spectrum. READ MORE

  • What can I do with my son's anxiety attacks?

I would also help to seek professional services for you and him. Most important, you remaining calm and emotionally regulated will help a lot. READ MORE

  • How can I help someone with manic depression?

    Hello and thank you for reaching out. Since you are stating your sister has manic depression, I am going to assume that she has been diagnosed with Bipolar. If not, I would recommend that she first get a physical to rule out any medical causes for the depression and then seek professional help. Bipolar disorder is typically a chronic and debilitating condition, but it is a treatable one. Medication is the first-line treatment with psychotherapy recommended as a critical adjunctive treatment. You can help her out by making sure she has set up a self-care plan. For example: * Actively participate in her treatment. * Monitor her mood, sleep, stressors, cognitive function, and her overall quality of life. This will help her identify if her medications are working, and understand what triggers her episodes. * Establish a daily routine that includes good sleep hygiene as sleep deprivation triggers manic episodes. * And most importantly, have a safety plan with warning signs, coping strategies, and support resources.

  • Should I see a psychologist for my nightmares?

  • What can I do for my child with suicidal thoughts?

    If you think she is in immediate danger, call 911 or a suicide hotline number — such as the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-TALK (800-273-8255) in the US. If you suspect that she is thinking about suicide, talk to her immediately do not be afraid to use the word "suicide" it won't plant ideas in her head. Ask her about her feelings and listen. Don't dismiss her problems. Listen to her and reassure her you love her. Remind her that you are willing to help. She may need a higher level of care. READ MORE
