College age child with depression, anxiety and stress

2. My roommate in school was the smartest guy in the class

Straight A's the whole way. We did a 4 year engineering degree in 3 years. I managed to take 4 years but got through it. One semester was 22.5 units including calculus, physics, thermo and electrical engineering. After we graduated and worked a while he went back to school to get his master's in physics. It was a rude awakening for him because he was among smart people there and so was merely average.

Contrary perhaps to what we see on TV and in the movies, college is hard work. This in addition to the usual risks of life, especially for young adults. Your daughter seems to be coping with it better than some of her friends and has the energy to help them as well. Perhaps she should back off a bit and think a little about taking care of Number One. There's only so much you can do in a day.

A bright side too, is she has you.
