Just be supportive and understanding. Help encourage her, keep her active and busy. Depression is the hardest part in my opinion. Not having support ( people to talk to, hang out with etc) allows depression to take over. Help her focus on the positive.

Hi there, I was diagnosed with pcos as a sophomore in college. It was definitely hard. Initially my symptoms showed up when I was in 8th grade in middle school, my tummy became enlarged and I gained another of weight. Facial hair started to appear. I can definitely understand your daughter and what she is going through. The only things that I have noticed have helped me control my weight and the rest of the symptoms is exercise and controlling what I eat (which is extremely hard if unmotivated). Consistent exercise will make her feel better and feel happier. And staying away from milk chocolate-substitute it for a darker version. If she wants a Starbucks choose and healthier version. There is a solution to pcos . Just have to be patient and consistent with exercise:) maybe a fitness coach and nutrition specialist could help her more .

Also, my puppy helps to keep me out of some funky days. If she doesn't have a pet it may help

Michelle hit ther nail on the head. I can't even go to my mom and tell her how I'm feeling bc she thinks that I'm just complaining. It's hard bc my mom and I are close. Shooo more importantly just gain as much info as possible and be supportive. Depression and anxiety are real!

I'm proud of you for reaching out and helping her. You legit just made me tear up
