I think you should take her request seriously and do not delay. It's rare that a young person asks for this kind of help.

Her mental and emotional pain is not really about you. You can't make her better by being a "perfect parent." There are things that go on inside of us that are outside of anyone else's reach. You're telling me that she's an adolescent and your sig says she was born to drug addicted parents. Those are two things right there that make for major shifts and changes in hormones, brain chemistry, etc. She already has some mental health diagnoses, as well. Things are not working, she recognizes it and is asking for increased or changed treatment.

That's a *good* thing, in my opinion. She's not just locking herself away mentally and emotionally.
Thanks for this!
