<p>I am so sorry you are going through this, Bob. It definitely sounds as if the best thing would be for her to return home. How against that idea is she? What is her reasoning? Can she come home and visit for the weekend? If so, think about just taking action (i.e. getting her evaluated–at a major hospital if you’re really worried that there are serious problems) and seeing how she responds. You absolutely need to get her home in any way you can if you’re worried about her safety. Call the college and express how worried you are and ask about your options. If your daughter is under 18, everything will be easier. If she’s over 18, she really is going to need to consent to treatment.</p>
