Katrina's feelings and struggles are valid and could be part of the normal adjustment process that many people experience when starting high school. However, given her family history of depression and her tendency to isolate, it would be wise for her to speak with a mental health professional. They can provide support, assess her feelings, and help determine if she is experiencing depression or if she just needs help navigating the transition.
