[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She has many red flags for depression especially coupled with anxiety. Have you checked her web searches? So dangerous to have these symptoms and be off in her room with internet access.

Counseling is definitely in order at a minimum. Generally counseling is not enough and meds may be recommended but definitely keep an even closer eye as teens are more prone to act those first few months on the drugs.  If there's anyway to make sure she's getting a good multivitamin and exercise daily. Consider getting a light therapy box off Amazon. If she wants to leave school, a change is in order where HS or switch schools.

Good luck to you and your family. Remind DW she would never forgive herself for this is something happens and you didn't take steps now.[/quote]

Really you must know any teen girls because the vast majority are like this when they are at home.
For 45 year old woman - yes red flags. For a teen girl? Probably not.[/quote]

In the past 3 months she has quit her travel team, doesn't want to go to school and at times refuses to go, stays in her room an inordinate amount of the time....

This might happen at times to teenagers but I wouldn't call it typical teen behavior. I think that getting her out of her room and out exercising in the fresh air will do her a lot of good.
