The best things for someone who is having a nervous breakdown is rest, reassurance, something that they find pleasure in and if that doesn't work add a little medication. It can just be xanax that they can take when they feel panic-y. They don't have to be medicated all the time, it will just take the edge off.
A nervous breakdown makes you feel out of control and like you're going crazy. Life is long, it does pass eventually, but to the person suffering they can't see that they will get past it. I hope your daughter feels better soon. Let her know it's very common and try to focus her mind on things that will cheer her up, even if it's only for a small amount of time. At least she has you to help her through it and she will get through it since she has an excellent support system. |
