If she doesn't take her meds let her mom know.Depression isn't something to mess with, especially for teens.She won't like it but you need to do it anyway.Her mom probably won't tell you told her if you ask her not to.

You know.. when you take pills you feel sort of controlled, backed into a corner.. don't you think that maybe she's feeling sort of trapped. You've got to be patient because it's all her decision. I have a few friends that are ADD and sometimes they are just sick of taking the medicene.. I mean I had to take a bunch of pills once for strep for about two weeks and I felt like I was gonna crack. I felt like all my emotions and feelings were controlled by it.. and being myself I hate being controlled or forced. Why don't you try and be conciderate of her feelings, you'd probably feel the same way. In the meantime try and be nice? I mean what could it hurt.. maybe that's the kind of medicene she needs.. a smile, a hug. Just some suggestion, and advice as always. If you need anymore, I'm always around. :)

Maybe your friend doesn't want to accept the fact that she really is depressed. I recommend being patient with her and trying to talk to her about what she is depressed about. Maybe you can help her realize she does need to take her medication..in a subtle way.

Well..taking her pills probaly makes her feel 'different from everyone else..like she's a freak because she's on pills..' ..just talk to her about it..try making a compromise, like taking half of her prescription..like half a pill instead of a whole..i dont know..there is probaly a bigger reason then the fact that they dont work..just talk to her..

My advice is to tell her parents. They need to know, but you pobably can't get some sense into her, so her parents would be the best solution.
