Teen refusing medication

countrygirl16, thanks for the suggestions. I think the alternative/holistic route is the best path, but I didn't know what to look for. Bio-feedback sounds promising. Just looking through the list of therapists from my health plan didn't provide any details about what other services they provide. If it was just finding a therapist she would have a better rapport with, I'm not sure how to go about that. The alternative route rather than just talk therapy and drugs seems like the best option. When I searched for biofeedback therapists, I found a lot of them calling themself mind-body psychotherapists or mind body family counselors. If anyone is looking for these types of therapists, that would be a good place to start. My cousin seems somewhat receptive to going and giving it a try. Her first response was if her dad had tried that and if it would help him (I don't have answers about that), but hopefully that's a good sign.
