How can I help my daughter, I think she is depressed.

I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer back in Jan 2011, currently having treatment, chemo.  I think my 15 years old daughter is depressed. She didnot want to go to school, get very upset about her eating habit (she think she is too fat, her weight is 53kilo), gets angry and frustrated with everything. Any suggestions what I can do? I really want to help her but just lost to what to say and do.

    The good thing is there's services out there that might be able to help your daughter...CanTeen provides services for young people who have a parent with cancer. They give young people an opportunity to meet and talk to others going through a similar situation and depending on where you live they might even be able to provide free counselling! The CanTeen website is - www.canteen.org.au

    The best thing you can do is look into those services available like Alf said.  They really are quite helpful, even the psychologist and social workers at the hospital are really helpful and can point you in the right direction if your having trouble.
