Hi @blue63
This sounds like a very difficult situation YoungMinds is a charity which specialises in child mental health. It might to a good idea to call the Parent Helpline: 0808 802 5544

Hi my 12yr daughter is having treatment from cyps it's been 3 weeks they have put her on fluoxetine medicine 10mgs and have came out a few times a week they are saying because she is picking and choosing who she is talking to that it's not a mental health issues she has only said a few words to the doctor a week put they are saying something has happened for her to be like this and they still don't know what is wrong with her on going thanks for listening.

Glad to hear that your daughter is having treatment, but sorry to hear that things are difficult @blue63. It must be tough on you as well as your daughter.
If you'd like to talk some more about your experience do feel free, and if there's anything we can help you with just let us know, and we'll do our best to advise you. -
Who can i talk to as I feel they are keep theating the hospital to my daughter each time they ask her to do something but when she does try then then say that if she can't give them more they will put her in hospital she is doing her best but it just seems it's not enough I can't go on like this it is so hard.

Hi @blue63
Have you had opportunity to take advice from the YoungMinds Parents Helpline that I mentioned in my previous post?
Also, if you feel that the way the health professionals are intervening with your daughter is counter-productive it is ok to express your concerns to them. Maybe best to do it in a short email so you have time to reflect on what you wish to say and so your daughter doesn't have to be part of the dialogue.
Hope things start to improve for you both soon,
