Have her seen: You don't list an age but this pattern suggests a clinically significant depression. Illness should be ruled out as a contributing factor but it is time for her to be evaluated.Recovery can start as soon as the issue is addressed.

Sad & angry.: Don't know her age. However, in children and teens - depression can often present with anger and acting out behaviors. Her lack of interest/ motivation to engage would also be of concern. Recommend a medical evaluation to rule out possible medical causes. Psychological assessment is also needed.
