What Causes Headaches And Hard Lump On Back Of Head In Child?

My daughter is 16. 2 weeks ago she came to my husband & told him she had been cutting for 3 years & didn t know how to tell me but she was just tired. Immediately the next day I took her for assessing to see what I needed to do to help her. She goes each week for individual therapy now. She is complaining of headaches a lot & has a large hard lump on the back of her head now on the right side. She has always been so perfect at everything making good grades in advanced classes. All of a sudden she doesn t want to go to school. For her that is a big red flag. She is a very unique child that apparently at 16 amazed the lady she is seeing for therapy by telling her about she is worried about having enough money saved to retire one day. Yes, 16 and worried about her retirement. I feel like I am losing my angel and my mind. Can this lump maybe cause the other issues?
