Take her to counselling session to a psychiatrist or clinical psychologist. 1-2 years break in medicine is nothing for career. She needs to be talked to by someone to improve her confidence and self belief. Good luck.

Dear Lybrate user, it must be hard for your daughter to go through all that anxiety and depression. And tough for you to see your daughter going through this. I'll suggest that you go for a combination of medication and psychological counselling/ therapy. A combination will help reduce your daughter's anxiety and depression and therapy will help teach her certain strategies and techniques to manage them. Especially cognitive behaviour therapy is proven and widely used to treat anxiety and depression. It will deal with your daughter's thoughts behind her behaviour and emotions and help changing it, thus changing behaviour (studying but not writing) and emotions (guilt, depression, anxiety). Therapy will also help you in the long term. Therapy will help you go to the root of the concern and help you manage and cope with it. And once your daughter learns to manage it, she can also reduce her dependence on medications. Please consult a psychiatrist and psychologist. With the right help, your daughter will be fine, not to worry. Give her all the support and care. Listen to her with empathy, to understand her and be there for her. All the best! for help you can contact me as well.

Of course, she can get help and resolve it too. It seems that she is having performance anxiety and is probably attaching herself to results too much. There is a lot of insecurity, which may have been there from the past. She may be curbed by high expectations that are raising her anxiousness. This is abnormal fear and since fear finds a form, she will look at something to make her feel that she cannot perform. She needs to learn to detach from the results and focus on the process. This is ideally done through an exercise of mindfulness meditation and concentration. The future has not yet happened and her anticipation levels may be higher than normal, and her expectation levels together with fantasizing may go to unrealistic levels. She should consider going to a tutor and checking her reasonableness of results with the teacher and correct the aberration. In the meantime, she must do regular exercise, meditation, eat a healthy diet, sleep adequately and live stress-free. In counseling, she can seek the help of the therapist to help her handle her emotions well, especially fear, and bring them to normal levels. If you examine her childhood for any contribution to this reaction to fear, she can work on those experiences. In today?s world, especially in the field of education, there is a lot of competition and expectations, that are pushing our kids to high performance for everything. We must learn to reduce and accept that sometimes it is okay to perform at a lesser level but that we must learn a lesson to handle the future better eventually.
