Hi, my 12 yrl old has not left the house since February this year.
She needs a medical review at the doctors and will need to attend a camhs meeting.
She is pda profile and all professionals have stated that if she won't attend any appointments, then call an ambulance, mid panic attack and she will be taken to camhs a and e.
Sound brutal. Has anyone had any experience of how to get a home visit? Or any advice really? Thanks.
