[quote=Anonymous]You sound like a great dad.  I definitely agree with the suggestion for therapy.  Typically when it involves a minor, the psychologist will first meet with the parents.  If you're wife isn't on board with this, I suggest you do it yourself so you can better learn how to improve your relationship with your DD and how to have more input into parenting decisions.  In short, your wife is very wrong.  Your DD clearly has anxiety (perfectionism is form of anxiety so it's not just your genes contributing to this) - which is often comorbid with other disorders like depression and you are right to be worried.  I've got 2 kids (including 1 in HS) that suffer from anxiety and I can tell you that medication has made such an incredible difference - including allowing them to be open to therapy and CBT.

Your DD should be screened by a professional skilled in anxiety/depression.  I don't know where you live but can recommend the Ross Center.  If you post in the Kids with SN forum, you're likely to get some great advice and recommendations.  Your DD doesn't need to feel this way and your wife needs to stop explaining away the issues.
