Everyone is different. No one can answer you. Do you like her? Is the depression harming the relationship? Are her positive attributes worth dealing with her depression?

Depends on the individual.
I feel most people who are severely depressed need professional help, rather than a romantic relationship.
Some folks have this notion that they can rescue a depressed person if they love him or her. It has nothing to do with love. Romantic love's normal ups and downs can sometimes make their illness/condition worse. Don't take it personally. It has nothing to do with you, your ability to love, or your characters.
I personally won't date somebody who has suicidal tendency, been there done that, I know better now.

Are you already dating her? If so, wait for her attention to drift off you before breaking up, if that is what you have in mind to do. You dont sound like you want to be a contribution to her depression, and breaking an existing relationship off abruptly certainly will contribute. If you care about her at all, wean her off of you slowly.
If you are considering dating her, please bare in mind that she might never grow out of the problem. If you are so infatuated with her that you would be willing to be constantly concerned about her, awesome! I mean, people should be concerned about their partners anyway, but she is a special case and needs special handling.
If you are just looking to get laid and then dump her if something better comes along, do a more stable girl the negative favor. Peace.
One of my good friends married a girl in this exact situation. He makes a ton of money and did all he could to help her. Sent her to counseling....bought her dogs....moved her mother into his home. He did all the right things and she never got better. She stopped having sex and tuned out 100% to him. She made his life a living hell.
Everyone has their own opinion on this topic.
I just happen to be a happy healthy guy and I expect my partner to be the same.
Stress is one thing. Emotional instability...no way.
I personally will not enter relationship with a woman that is bipolar or has any type of issue with depression.

Exactly. It's like trying to save an alcoholic or drug addict --- relationships are not what will save them.
The answers will vary depending on the people involved.
There isn't any universal answer here. If there is, most likely people would choose to "uncomplicated" their lives.
