my daughter is a cutter

my daughter has been cutting herself for sometime now. we have tried talking to the doctor who then put her on medication. and we have tried counseling. but i feel that all of this is not working she is still depressed and refuses to admit it. she cant handle stress or conflict and i am afraid that an everyday argument will lead to another cut. Is there anyone who can help me or her?

Elissa,
 
It must be heartbreaking for you to watch your daughter hurting herself in this way.  
 
Cutting and depression are serious issues and no one in an online community is capable of giving you good advice without speaking to you and your daughter in person.  While we certainly offer you our support, we urge you to get back in touch with your daughter's doctor as soon as possible to let him know that your efforts so far have not been effective.
 
We're thinking of you and wish you and your daughter the best,

Hi Elissa,

I like to echo Kat's word of support.  I wish you and your family the best of luck in helping your daughter get through what sounds like a very hard time.
