As a teenager who has struggled with depression, i can confidently say that bringing the boy into this is the last thing that you should do! Talk to her doctor about it or take her to a therapist. Most of all, listen when she talks, bring up your concerns and explain that is why you want her to see a therapist, just to make sure that nothing is wrong, because she may not know that she is depressed (she very well might though). However, it is very possible that she is not depressed, so just listen to her and the doctor. And also support her, if she does not want to go out or ask out the boy, that is her decision, do not try to undermine her or her wishes. She will do it when she is ready, and the worst thing to do if she is depressed is to bring a boy into it, you need to be happy before you can truly commit to a relationship. So PLEASE just take her to a doctor and listen to the BOTH of them (her doctor and your daughter).
