Hello everyone, my 11 year old was diagnosed with graves disease a month and a half ago. She is the sweetest kid any mother could hope for, but she is getting teased in school because of her bulging eyes, I am getting concerned and considering having her talk to a psychiatrist, am I overreacting? She is in good spirits but every time she tells me someone made fun of her eyes or the swelling on her neck it breaks my heart, I dont know what to do.
I am very sorry. I don't know if taking her to a professional is the right thing at this point. monitor how she is dealing with it
