Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. From the given symptoms, it is difficult to diagnose. It may feel like depression. But the age of your daughter is also factor. She has attained the puberty age period and depression related to that age group and developmental pattern is normal. Recalling all those past events and crying is pointing towards that possibility. Thoughts and fantasies are also part of adolescent age group. In all it seems to be a developmental problems coupled with age of adolescent. Don;t worry. You may talk to her in details and if need be, consult a psychologist.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
