I will just tell you one thing- your teen is so lucky to have such an understanding parent who senses something wrong instead of blaming the irritability on hormones and cares enough to do whatever it takes to come out of the situation. Stay strong for your daughter. She needs you now more than ever.

And last but not the least, depression does not have to need a reason. You can have everything in the world and yet suddenly wake up feeling depressed one fine day.

Let your teenager know everyday that she is very much loved and can share anything with you whenever she is ready without any judgement.

Take care.
