I have a grand-daughter who is 11 years old and suffers from anxiety. She has been receiving treatment on and off for the past 6 years but is still having severe anxiety attacks at different times. We have even tried hypnotherapy to help her with with problem. The doctor's feel that she is too young to have medication for this problem. This illness affects everyone around her especially me because when she has an attack she attaches herself to me so I have to help her get over it.
Anyone have any advice.
