Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
It appears that her depression is bad and she will certainly require medication for treating her depression. Some common options to get treated are sertraline, venlafaxine or mrtazapine or prozac. I m sorry to know that she doesn't have medicine to get treated. Without medicine she can try for some non-pharmacological approaches for depression like aerobic exercises, yoga and meditation. But if it doesnt improve then she will have to start the medication and will need consultation.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
