On the issue of meds - remember that the actual effects can rarely be noted until about a month in for antidepressants. Most will make you feel really strange at first though as you get used to them. Encourage your gf to keep trying different meds (after the 2 month adjustment period) until she finds the one that works for her. When she does find the right AD, she'll know it. All of a sudden that weight holding her down will be gone one day, and she'll feel energized and normal like she was before.

I've got clinical and chronic depression. Every time I think I've figured it out for good, it comes waltzing back into my life to destroy things.

The holy trinity: therapy, meds, exercise. Some people say eating right as well.

Anyway - pharmaceuticals are a godsend for many of us out there. So it's great that OP's gf is on her way.
