Suggest Treatment For Thumb Sucking In A 30 Yr Old Female

My 30 year old daughter still sucks her thumb and a pacifier. (Gave up smoking a few years ago). She lost her only sibling at age 14 yrs. to cancer. She is a child of divorced parents. Suffers from migraines, depression, anxiety and ADD. I find sucking a pacifier at her age extremely odd and wonder if something deeper is going on.

Hello,

I suggest you consult a psychologist as she really needs to come out from all what she has gone through. She needs regular and proper medical counseling.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
