How Can Severe Anxiety And Depression Be Treated?

My daughter has had depression and anxiety for several years. Since October she has been struggling having suicidal thoughts with increased anxiety. Two weeks ago she decided to go to the hospital where she stayed for 4 days. They did change 2 out of 4 of her meds. The new antidepressant Trintellix we were told won’t kick in for about 4 weeks. They also put her on Vistiral but she is still having suicidal thoughts and anxiousness. She is 51 years of age.
