Brief Answer:
Seems mental health disorder
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
welcome to HCM,
I think you should show your daughter to a psychiatrist. This is because these are early signs of a disorder if not handled properly now, can become more serious and difficult to treat later. Please do not hesitate to go to a psychiatrist. It is a problem of the mind due to a chemical imbalance that needs correction, and not 'due to a fault of hers'.
The psychiatrist will decide whether she needs medication/psychotherapy or both--
Regards

Hi Doctor ,
We have shown her to CIMBS XXXXXXX and had medicine and counselling both as per doctor advice.
I could not see any positive change . It is from August this year and we are visiting CIMBS from October starting.
I am really worried and some one told me that this is because of harmone changes and puberty . I am really confused now.

Brief Answer:
Hi, did you follow up with them?
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Did you follow up with them? These symptoms are too many to explain away as hormonal changes due to puberty. Have they done a proper blood work up? Have they done all hormonal levels? If proper testing was done and all levels were normal then I would advise you either follow up with CIMBS or consult another psychiatrist. Or get proper testing done--
