Hi Jayden:

Two things come to mind; one, she should get a restraining order against this guy. He could do much more harm if allowed to continue.  The next time he frightens her, call the police and, when they arrive, ask them how to get the restraining order.

Two, get your daughter to a physician. He could diagnose what is going on with her, and refer you to a neurologist who can then diagnose seizures, if that is what is going on. Her hair could be falling out due to stress, but it could also be a physical problem, such as a thyroid issue, or malnourishment.

Please, if you daughter will let you, take control of her physical care. If she won't, then there is not much you can do.

Best of luck,

Dr. Diana Walcutt
