Recently I took my intellectually disabled daughter to the doctor as she had been suffering from severe anxiety disorder. She has been hearing voices and having strong thoughts.
I am going to start her on a new course of medication and wondered whether there was anything else I could do to help her. It seems our moving has triggered off a strong emotional response. Plus she finds crowded areas very overwhelming.
My question is what can I do to help with the voices, we talk about them but should I encourage her to give the voices a different name like a funny name? Are there any strategies I can use to help her that are effective with others here?
Thanks
