I got diagnosed with Bipolar at 14, none of my doctors disregarded it. I was lucky. My mom changed insurances and I had to see a new guy. He disregarded my anxiety/panic attacks. He gave me a book to read, and told me I just need to get over it. I read the book, I tried to go out more. I still had problems and his associate gave me Klonopin a small dose. It didn't help very much with my anxiety. So when I was hospitalized in October of last year he took me off the Klonopin and loaded me up with anti-depressants, they didn't help my anxiety and I got manic. He said "Well since you don't leave your house you don't need any Klonopin." Failing to realize that I still have panic attack at home.
December I got a great doctor. I was put on 2mg of Xanax 4 times a day, that did the trick! But when I turned 18 I lost my insurance and had to stop seeing him.
I hope your mom finds somebody who understands her and can treat her.
