Dr. William Holmes answered

Specializes in Child Psychiatry

Evaluate and Treat: If you have not done so already, it would be good for your daughter to be evaluated by a mental helath professional who is familiar with selective mutism. Therapy can be helpful, and antidepressant medications can help decrease the anxiety that is commonly associated with this condition.
