Autumn,
I can see how frustrated you must be over this. I remember one of the
first articles I read off the internet about selective mutism suggested that
children are this way because of an over-domineering mother and lots of other
nasty things about mother's being the cause of this disorder. It scared me to
death ! I was so glad to find better information on the subject. Maybe your
Dr. read something like what I read at first.
I also have a question for you. I'm sort of new to the group and I read
about the prozac alternative. Exactly what does the prozac do to help the
children with selective mutism ? I'm a little leary of medicating my daughter
with an anti-depressant. I'm glad it seems to working for your son, though.
