Oh Denise - I didn't know you were having issues with Lexi. It does sound like she needs to see a specialis - a child psychologist. I would never rely on a regular pediatrician to make an accurate diagnosis for something like this. Just the fact that you said she has done this before and it gets worse each time concerns me.
Mental health issues should not be taken lightly as they can exacerbate quickly. I have a cousin who was diagnosed as bi-polar, schizoprehnic, with OCD when she was 12. It had been going on for years before they finally took her in to be diagnosed. It is so much easier to treat when the symptoms are newer than when it has been around for a long time.
Sending my heartfelt prayers for you and Lexi and tons of hugs as well......
