Professional help: Any emotional symptoms that are "extremely severe" should be evaluated by a mental health professional. There are several effective treatments for anxiety and depression, no matter how severe. Best not to delay if things are really as bad as you say.

Encourage her to: have this medically assessed & treated if she has not already done so. You love & support is very important but it won't replace psychiatric care.
