Hi @blue63 I would chase up on both sides, speak to school and GP and ask what they can do to help and ask for a timeframe on how long that could take.

Also you say that the doctor thinks she is depressed, what does she say? How is she feeling? Is there anything going on at school that is upsetting her?

You might like to look at Young Minds, there is tons of information on there about mental health and young people, guides to CAMHS and more.
