Please ask her to talk to someone she trusts the most and that person is ready to listen to her without any bias. It may be a probability somebody bullied her or she had a traumatic experience with someone. Still, if she is not able to talk please take her to a professional Psychologist/Counsellor.

Dear client
Do the parents of your cousin know about any stressor in school,tuition or neighborhood? Firstly you all have to ensure safety ofthe victim.Make sure she is accompanied by someone all the time.But don't probe her continuously. Make sure she eats and sleeps adequately. A night time dose of benzodiazepine with advice by family doctor will ensure that.
Next Steps
See if she refuses to go to school or meet someone .You might get some clues through her friends. It will help to go through her social media posts and notebook etc.
Health Tips
Reassure her that you are there when she is ready to talk about it. If she shows pain or injuries she needs immediate medical attention.

Hello practo user
I can understand your concerns regarding your cousin's behaviour. It seems that there could have been some negative event which has taken place and she is unable to deal with it . You can try as a family to talk to her and ask her gently if something is bothering her. Try and talk to the school authorities if they know if any incident has taken place. Give her some time and space and try and not pressurise her. It is advisable that you seek help from a clinical psychologist who can better understand her issues and guide her with the correct coping techniques and skills. You can also reach out to me through the practo app for any further help or guidance.
Next Steps

Health Tips
