Well I’m trying to write a book it’s quite therapeutic but I don’t know how to start
That sounds pretty good! If she doesn't listen to this, I'd say try to get another adult like a counsellor involved, or try backing it up with some more research, like, "mayo clinic lists these things as symptoms of depression, and this is what I've experienced", etc.
