[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]She sounds depressed to me and she probably needs help from a therapist and possibly medication.[/b] You’ve basically outlined how she has lost interest in things that used to interest her, and that she has decreased energy overall. That’s depression. It may be situational - like as soon as she gets her bearings and a new friend group she will be okay. But in the meantime I would be very worried about those Cs and what that might mean for college in the future (unless you just expected her to go to an in state public in which case don’t stress about the grades just make sure she keeps passing her classes). But overall I do think she needs some talk therapy, I do think she needs to join Something, so that she feels better about the situation as she heads into summer. Because if in June she is feeling and being the same way - that’s trouble. [/quote]

Oh for pete's sake. Please lay off the amateur psychiatric diagnosing.

OP is concerned enough to post here. OP has gotten (some) good advice, although rushing to a therapist and medication for what very well could be normal teen high school transition is way overkill. And potentially more harmful.

Talk to her OP. Spend a lot of time with her and figure out what's going on. You're her mother. [/quote]
