Is it possible that Anna is suffering from postpartum depression? I know that the first few months after I gave birth and relinquished my son, I felt totally numb, not sad. But it turned out that my emotional numbness was a symptom of a very serious depression. Hormones, plus relinquishment, can do a double whammy.
Is there any way her counselors could assess her for clinical depression? If she is depressed, some antidepressants might be the answer--they would at least give her the energy to become motivated. (The times in my life when I have suffered clinical depression, one of the first things that happens to me is a total loss of motivation.) Something to think about...
