<p>My daughter has only 2 weeks left this semester and she just had a psychotic break. We took her to the ER and had a Psychiatric Emergency service evaluation. She is 22 so it is hard to make her sign in against her will...as she was deemed not a danger to herself or others. She is paranoid and we had a hard time getting her to take the first pill today.</p>
<p>What I need now is to find how to proceed with her college and who should I contact to try to salvage her education until she gets better. This is her 4 the year and only 2 weeks away from the end of the semester. She will have another final semester of teaching in the fall as her clinical practice stage before final graduation.</p>
<p>I did not want to push the involuntary commitment as it may affect the rest of her life as it pertains to teaching or working with children. So we are trying medications with parental and outpatient psychiatric supervision.</p>
<p>I know she can not go back on Monday morning to finish the last 2 weeks. What I need is advice from someone who has gone through this and was able to salvage a semester of education using a behavioral health argument. Is there a process in place when this happens? I hear its common to have a psychotic break in college....I dont know who to call on Monday. Professor ? THe Dean? The health clinic on campus? I need her to have confidentiality as well to avoid that label and stigma for the rest of her life.</p>
<p>Please help me salvage all of her hard work!</p>
<p>Thank you,
