[quote=Anonymous]Withdrawing from activities she previously enjoyed; spending lots of time alone watching videos; school refusal; asking earnestly to be homeschooled; teachers actually taking the time out to reach out with concern that she is not acting like her usual self, are all signs that you should carefully rule out anxiety and depression with the help of a mental health professional. That does not necessarily involve prescribing meds. Therapy may be enough if that is what she requires. Just waiting for it to go away on its own though is not a wise strategy, because there are too many warning signs surfacing simultaneously. I understand that your spouse and many on this thread recommend not overreacting, but it sounds like this has been going on for a while now and it's enough of a departure from her normal personality to warrant your ruling out something more serious which could be negatively impacting her emotional well being. Good luck.[/quote]
