Sounds a lot like a case of clinical depression. Your friend should
see a competant doctor.

She has seen more-than-five-less-than-10. OK, with the caveats raised by
GB on the "competent" part.

GB said :

Concur. Might I add that in my extended and direct experience, the
term "competent doctor" is unfortunately strictly limited to those
who have a degree in general medicine and have subsequently taken
psychiatry as a formal specialilty. General practitioners are, in
my experience, worse than useless when it comes to treating
depression, and psychologists are downright fvcking dangerous.

Most GPs in this part of the world know when to refer you to an expert,
fortunately. I'm very impressed with my GP. Unfortunately the
kid-in-question lives 1500km north of me.

So, to hell with the expense, don't see anyone less than a
formally qualified psychiatrist if it looks like there's to
be medication involved.

Noted. Problem of course being that girlie-in-question has seen enough
incompetents [1] to make her once-bitten-twice-shy.

So how do I persuade her to see a psychiatrist? I know, my problem, not
yours, rhetorical question.

Good luck. Thank-you for giving enough of a damn about your
friend to ask for help.

That's my weakness. Projects. :-)

Thanks for the replies.

[1] And I say "incompetent" because clearly the problem has not been
solved.
