<p>My daughter is the same age and has crippling anxiety. She’s very bright, but now I am concerned she won’t even be able to finish high school because of it, or live a normal life. It’s awful. I wish I had some great advice, but we’re in the midst of it ourselves. Unlike you, I don’t fear the medication. She’s just on Prozac, and it’s fine, and helpful, without side effects, and probably helps her not be as depressed about the situation, but it’s not a cure for the anxiety. I guess I’m just chiming in now, in empathy.</p>
