How Can Severe Depression While Living With An Unwell Loved One Be Treated?

Hi Dr., I have an aunt who seems depressed right now. She is 59 years old. Before she was a happy person living together with my grandma. When my grandma got sick and she have changed a lot. She actually reached the point of no eating for days. She become ill and talk weird things. Every time she would saw a pen and paper, she wrote things about war and end of the world.
