What a terrible delimna. I would agree that you should try therapy first. I know CBT is the most studied treatment for depression but I am a self psychologist myself and feel strongly that relational therapy, therapy where the relationship is the curative factor, is the way to go. It must be very hard to see a child suffer this way. I hope you can find her a rherapist who is emotionally available, someone your neice can feel close to and emotionally held by. She is lucky to have your concern.
