A lot of factors to consider. Has she begun her menses yet for instance. That can affect mood. Celexa is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor and this calss of antidepressant can sometimes leave one flat or with a blunted affect. Speak with her doctor.

It is important to find the correct combination of medications with your Psychiatrist. Have a physical exam to rule out illness. If you are not confident in your Dr. see another for a 2nd opinion. Medications are not sufficient since they do not teach you coping. Psychotherapy with a Clinical Psychologist with expertise in multiple types of psychotherapy can help your medications to work better.
