Having Chemical Imbalance. Not Ready To Take Treatment. What Could Be Done?

Anxiety disorders need to be treated
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Anxiety disorder is a mild form of psychiatry disorder and unfortunately is a victim of stigma. Many people don't seek treatment fearing the side effect of the drugs. However over the last 10 years lot many new medications have appeared in the market which are very very safe.
You should ask them to see a school psychologist who can then guide her parents accordingly.
If the parents are very adamant about not using the drugs then the other possibility is controlling the anxiety symptoms using cognitive behavioural therapy which doesnt involve any medications are as effective as medications.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
