These are all classic signs of a spell of depression aren't they?

The difference between teenage and adult depression
Depression in teens can look very different from depression in adults. The following symptoms of depression are more common in teenagers than in their adult counterparts:

Irritable or angry mood – As noted above, irritability, rather than sadness, is often the predominant mood in depressed teens. A depressed teenager may be grumpy, hostile, easily frustrated, or prone to angry outbursts.
Unexplained aches and pains – Depressed teens frequently complain about physical ailments such as headaches or stomachaches. If a thorough physical exam does not reveal a medical cause, these aches and pains may indicate depression.
Extreme sensitivity to criticism – Depressed teens are plagued by feelings of worthlessness, making them extremely vulnerable to criticism, rejection, and failure. This is a particular problem for “over-achievers.”
Withdrawing from some, but not all people – While adults tend to isolate themselves when depressed, teenagers usually keep up at least some friendships. However, teens with depression may socialize less than before, pull away from their parents, or start hanging out with a different crowd.

How old is your daughter? What grade is she in? Here is the accommodations you can request for her. My public school had a "5 year plan" available to anyone that couldn't / didn't want to handle 6 classes a semester. (public school) My sister-in-law & cousin-in-law (and my son) did part time virtual school/ part time public school so they weren't overwhelmed by the amount of work they had to do.

Your virtual schools

IAVA

Honestly, She needs a full psych exam (4+ hrs.). It's recommended every 2 years for children with mental health issues. Is she seeing a therapist at least weekly? Are you working with the guidance? Is she getting in trouble in school/home? I was Dx. Depressed as a teen when it was bp.
