Sounds like she refuses to help herself so I don't know if there is anything you can do. Responsiblity for her well-being begins with her.

Just continue to support and encourage her to do better but in the end it's on her.

Go to the doctor with her. Give your imput. Get her some help. Later she will thank you.

Definitely something is affecting her. Only way to get to the root is to get her to tell you. That in itself is hard to do. Might need to take her to counseling.

I'm not a huge advocate for meds, but I was just wondering because if she still had those symptoms on medication she would probably need to talk to her doc about switching.

I think you are doing a good thing by taking her to exercise. Even getting her out for fresh air on a short walk is nice.

thats what i was thinking, it kinda frustrates me that she doenst wanna help herself but her mood swings sometimes get the best of me and i lash out a bit, im trying to control it though, but its hard.

The thing with clinical depression is that it's not really something she can just snap out of or that you can fix, so you just being patient and understanding and there for her will do wonders.

I agree. OP; just always reassure her that you are there for her no matter what. I respect you for caring enough to try to find out what you can do to help her.
