Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Is Zoloft Helpful In Reducing Anxiety Levels And Violent Rages?
My daughter is 11 years old. She has a remote history of seizures. She has hydrocephalus (shunted) and developmental coordination disorder. These things are what they are. Her mental state and her behaviour is the big concern for us. She can be great. And sometimes, she can be quite emotionally labile and irritable and go into violent rages from which she cannot extricate herself. She has an anxious sensitive temperament. Would it be wrong to approach our GP to see if something like Zoloft would perhaps reduce her anxiety levels and reduce or eliminate the huge, violent rages?
Hello I am sorry to learn about your daughter. Zoloft may help if these are due to anxiety or panic attacks but if due to impulse control disorder/ or Bipolar Disorder / or ADHD, it may actually be harmful. Please get a consultation from competent psychiatrist Dr Saatiish Jhuntrraa
