It's a little understood condition that causes obsessive daydreaming. She sounds like she has some of the symptoms, including early onset on this problem. I have Maladaptive Daydreaming. It's like an daydreaming addiction and mental illness all wrapping up into one, and is very hard for me to stop. This problem is currently the subject of a clinical study. Take a look at this website to learn more: http://daydreamingdisorder.webs.com/ I really feel that as more research is done on Maladaptive Daydreaming, that we will discover the problem is far more common than anyone would have guessed. I think it is possible that many people who are labeled "fantasy prone" may have this problem. There is also a theory that trauma and abuse can create this problem or make it worse.
