Talking is all you can do unless she sees a shrink or.. something.

 

Maybe she can go to a free clinic in your town. Or see an educational psychologist in your school. They usually hang around in the guidance office or with the vice principal & resource officer. I used to work in that department at my high school...

 

Anti-depressants.

 

A LOT of cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy is needed before antidepressants can be prescribed. I find that cognitive therapy is extremely effective (depending on who you're dealing with of course). And babyfreak's right: antidepressants aren't the answer to everything. They can really fuck you up if an SSRI is weaned off too soon. Then again, anyone is capable of relapsing. Behavioral psych. is just weird like that.
