Your W sounds way down near the bottom. You never know what is going on until it is over. The moment by moment stuff is just that - and you're doing a great job within those lines.
The closer to the bottom, the darker and depressing life is. On the upside, she avoids meds known to increase dark thoughts in teenagers. I believe adults can also be at risk so be careful.
If she's talking, that may be good. She's reaching out and sharing. Silence can be worse. Let her talk even if it's hard to hear. Be her rock. As a friend, learn about living with depression. Look for ideas like creating daily routine, being around people in a safe situations, eating healthy, physical excersise or exertion. Sunbeams.
If she's not comfortable with MC, ask your C what is best way to help her find relief. She needs a C that doesn't fold the tent and throw in the D towel the minute a client says that is the solution.
Does your W think the M is her biggest burden, and D is her best hope? You know better, but she doesn't. Be strong and take care of yourself.
