Urge Therapy: Since you described the person as your fiance I am hoping you love this person. Show compassion, love and support but encourage them to seek therapy to find out why they are depressed and get coping skills that work.

Challenging: Learn as much as you can about the condition, understand that untreated depression can make it difficult to connect on a deep emotional level; remember that if she lashes out, it is probably the depression, recognize the seriousness of the problem, encourage her to get help, and don't make excuses or cover up. Support recovery, but remember you cannot fix her depression. Take care of you, too.
