She needs help!


Posted by evi on July 26, 2000 at 21:51:06:

Hi,
I'm new to this forum. My daughter who is 19 sleeps the day time instead of night. During day she can't or doesn't get out of bed. She is up during the night. Took her to the doctor, and they have diagnosed her with depression. She has been on Prozac, doesn't seem to help. I keep thinking how could she be depresed if she is not tired at night? Every night she is up, either out with her friends, or stays up till the morning.
It is such an abnormal way to live, it has created tremendous problems in our family, in her school work, has not been able to keep a job. Is she just plain lazy? I'm not sure is this depression or sleep disorder?
I'm desperate for help.
thanks
