My daughter revealed to me yesterday that she has been having thoughts of killing random people...just whoever she happens to look at at that moment. She's 16, MDD w/Psychotic Episodes. The thoughts have been happening for about 2 weeks, with increasing frequency. Yesterday, she tried to control the thoughts, which made her think about them even more. She said it's horror movie type stuff, which she has never watched or read. She had a therapy session this morning and I have a call in to her psychiatrist. Any thoughts?? Would a therapist who specializes in cognitive/behavioral therapy help more with her learning to control the OCD aspects of her MDD?
This is a situation your daughters pdoc should be made aware of.....I am MDD with psychotic episodes and I know how real these feelings are.Different medication helped me...the doctor will know.
For your daughters sake please seek medical intervention asap.
