OP - 1430 Here and for what it is worth it is because we did not address a mental health issue in a high school student who was on the other end of high performance until it blew up for her and us in college.  Our youngest had a cognitive disability that took our focus a lot and in a way I blame myself most as not being able to face having another daughter with a different kind of need.  In her case the marker for us was if she lost interest in how she performed at school.  Just a lot easier to address even "possibilities" earlier and while I do not jump on the bandwagon of a therapist for every single issue, maybe start with her PCP for the physical but with a bit of background information to the doctor on what to probe for ahead of time which you can do as her parent - until age 18 that is.   With a spread of close to 100 points in IQ, we have just always been wide open on what "success" means, BUT we had expectations for our youngest as we had for our two older daughters growing up - of how to dress, how to act socially, how to do things at hime, and that school was important.  All three girls are employed, but one resides with us.  Just figure out how to best help her figure things out.[/quote]
