This is a great question. I wonder if she's losing interest in all these aspects of her life because she has yet to find her true path. Does she feel authentic in her life? She is 20 years old and has a lot more life in front of her. As a therapist, I would explore existential aspects to help her find her meaning.

Before medications, I would research (possibly with your child) potential therapists who have specialties in dealing with children struggling with loss.

I understand that going to therapy can be a worrisome process, however the results can be life changing. It is important to do your research on therapists around you to find a good fit. Remember you can always change therapists if the dynamics are not working. Hope this helps answer your question.

Well sorry to hear you are struggling financially. One thing I would suggest is to keep track of your caffeine intake. I would not drink any caffeine after 5pm. Secondly I would try a guided meditation (there is a free app called headspace) that is good. Lastly, try to take a warm shower or bath before hitting the pillow. If you have insurance you should try talk therapy I think it would do wonders for you!
