Hey hi,
Looks like your daughter is suffering from societal anxiety disorder. I would have suggested my patient for an intensive cognitive behavioural therapy aimed at reducing the anxiety. I would also advice to be persistent on this as it takes time for the intervention to show results.
Also, if cognitive behavioural therapy is not giving desired results, I would add fluoxetine(Prozac) or any other selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor which can aid in decreasing anxiety.
Please initiate the medications only under consultants evaluation and advise. Hope this helps. Thanks.
