<p>Our posts crossed earlier, Bob. It sounds very serious if she is not responding to supportive gestures from family/friends. She may not want to come home because she won’t know what to do with herself at home, and of course, there is a feeling of failure associated with having to come home in the middle of a term. So hard.</p>
<p>One of my daughter’s friends is at home this year, instead of starting college away from home, because of depression that started last year. I think it was bad enough that it affected her grades, and she may not have had a choice. But, she is seeing a therapist, volunteering for habitat for humanity and taking a class at a CC. I just saw her recently and she seems to be doing well. I’m saying a prayer for a similar outcome for your daughter. It seems important for a depressed person to be able to feel productive in some way. Just a thought. I’m sure you’ve probably thought of that. </p>
<p>Best of luck to you.</p>
