It depends...: That is a tough question. Many Clinically Depressed patients do just fine on their own. However, if she has indicated in any way that she is suicidal or seeking to hurt herself (cutting, drugs, etc) then she should not be alone, and should be evaluated by a professional psychiatrist for more intensive in patient management.
