Hi
I realized lately that my 22-year daughter has probably cyclothymia. I can recognize very easily the symptoms and I don't know how to talk her to get therapeutic help – should I tell her what I am suspicious of?
It is very painful to see her wasting her great ability and talents by stopping again and again each new idea, academic studies, job, residence, friends, lovers, hobby etc. But besides all that I am a bit in panic thinking that she is even in danger because she is not careful regarding her sexual life (no condoms etc.), she smokes grass and claims that it’s not dangerous at all, and lives alone while experiencing depressed cycles (lasting for a few days).
You are not used to have parents on this forum, so I hope that I’m welcomed too.
