Liz, your friend may need to look for a new psychiatrist, if this one doesn't seem to be helping. It sounds as if she has developed a phobia with her driving, in which case she might need some kind of specific, specialized, therapy. You could probably help her by doing research on phobias and treatments, and then find a Doctor who specializes. It may seem like a lot of trouble, but with her problems, your friend probably won't or can't see the need to be this pro-active for herself. If you don't "take charge" she will probably just "go with the flow" and get worse. I hope you don't mind, these are just opinions. Best wishes! CarolAnn
