Even with depression you'll occasionally have good days - Wake up, and everything just seems a little better. Doesn't last for long, and usually does have anything to do with what anyone does.

Hopefully she's thinking about going to a psychiatrists or a therapist to help with her depression - My W would never go to see anyone, then she pretty much fell apart one week. I convinced her to go to a psychiatrist who I knew and she started on medication, but she hasn't been to a therapist yet.

Unfortunately you can't drag someone into doing that stuff. Even with medication, 90% of the process is changing what you do, so if they're not going to do that, it's a waste of time.
