[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shame on all you buffoons telling OP her daughter needs therapy and medication.  I have lived in England, Sweden, and Canada before here and no one would bat an eyelash at these type of kids.  There needs to be more kids like yours in this country OP. Embrace her. Don't make her feel strange. Don't turn her into a non-feeling selfish robot. [/quote]

You may need to simmer down. I'm a proponent of therapy and it's not to "fix" anything-- it's to help OP's daughter put these extremely strong emotions into context so that she can remain empathetic without feeling distressed. When emotions spill over into distress and sadness they needs to be addressed proactively. Therapy can teach self regulation and reflection-- these are life skills and people who learn these skills are much happier than people who don't. If OP wasn't concerned about how her daughter is dealing with her feelings she wouldn't have said "I have some worries." 
I agree that there is nothing here to suggest medication as an answer. I also agree that some responses were unduly harsh and not taking into account that this is a child grappling with emotions that she does not have the skills and experience to handle. [/quote]
