> BTW, spoke to my younger brother today and found him at wits end about my niece, age 9, who appears to have a whopping anxiety disorder--refuses to eat (this comes and goes, sometimes it is about limiting to certain kinds, colors, consistencies of food, etc), worries all the time, and get this, *picks at her scalp* (see my previous post). I didn't have the nerve to tell my brother his daughter has my genes.
Hi Noa,
Just a quick thought for you regarding your niece:
from your description, she may have a form of OCD
(obsessive compulsive disorder).
And like ADD, Depression, Panic Disorder,
it may respond well to an SSRI !cheers,
