Yes...im no doctor but i can tell you, it is possible! "She" would experience sleeping a lot, crying a lot(even if there seems to be no obvious reason to be crying). She'll probably cry when there's noone around. She, and only she, will feel like, even if she's in a crowded room w/tons of friends around her, and she looks like she's having a blast, the truth of it is she's crying, and hurt on the inside....and doesn't feel quite normal on the inside, and feels like she's all alone. And she will feel like she has to force a smile on her face, when all the while, she's dieing on the inside, and DOES NOT KNOW WHY. She'll feel hopelessness, even if she's talented, and beautiful, inside and out... Where there should be no reason to feel this way. And she'll feel a sense of fear about what the future holds for her...even though by all appearences, she has the talent, and brains, and beauty, and all the tools to be somebody in the world. She'll think to herself, "If I could only be happy, and understand where this pain is coming from, and why, when there's no tangible reason for it.....maybe then, I can be truly happy." You also have to watch out for the use of any drugs, because with depression, the two don't mix. Even if you think your little girl wouldn't, and in fact hasn't ever done them, you still need to be on the lookout for alcohol or even pills....because even the ones that have a good head on their sholders, and knows better, and stayed away from drugs their whole life, if they dont watch out, depression can still lead to stuff like that. Wow thats a lot of information...but i hope it helps:)
