Answers:
Sounds like anemia, especially because of the fatigue!. Those symptoms are rather extreme for depression!. Does this young woman also have a rapid heart rate, dizziness when she stands up, a cold sensation and tingling in her limbs!? Are her gums pale, too!? Anemia can be diagnosed by a doctor very easily!. He'll prescribe iron or B-12 supplements!. Thyroid is also a possibility because sometimes the symptoms of a thyroid disorder mimic anemia!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I was like that, and was diagnosed anaemic!
Although I wasn't medically depressed!. The fact that I felt so rubbish made me feel "down" all the time!.
Is you Daughter on any medication/vitamins!. It may be worth trying some multivitamins with iron!. Especially if she's started having her periods etc!.
How old is she!?
Hope you get to the bottom of it, and she feels better soon!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Sounds like anorexia, or severe depression (which can sometimes lead to a lack of appetite!.)
The physical description definitely points to malnourishment, and get her on some vitamins if she won't eat!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
