Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your problem description. For how many days your daughter is using the Zoloft 100 mg. It is an anti depressant. One of its side effects include becoming more depressed and talk about suicide. In that case, consult your psychiatrist for a change in medication.

If these symptoms are not available, then your daughter needs constant motivation and needs to understand what is her illness. Awareness along with the urge to live better gives energy.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarification.
Good luck.
