Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello thanks for asking from HCM

She is 19 and have developed symptoms like remaining alone, poor sociality, crying spells, mood swings etc. These symptoms are due to depression and should not be ignored. I would advise you to consult a psychiatrist for proper treatment and evaluation.

For treatment of depression medicines like SSRIs as Sertraline, Paroxetine, Fluoxetine etc are used. These medicines result in improvement of symptoms and help to reduce negative thoughts.

Apart from medicines Cognitive therapy is also used as one of common modality for treatment of depression. The therapy helps to improve distorted thoughts, cognitive distortions etc.

Consult a psychiatrist for prescription of drugs.

Thanks, hope this helps you
