hi new to th forum myself my first instinct tells me to tell you to have her seen right away wether by a primary doc (like the one who give her the vicodan) or by a therapist. if she's as sad as you say she is she might need to be put in a treatment facility. i've been to one myself was there 2 weeks when i was suicidal (mostly from undiagnosed bp and a bad realtionship) any way i feel for you and her. this is nobody's fault. it's a chemical inbalance plus her life experiences. feel free to pm me if you want me to go deeper into how i was helped . too personal for the forum-onyx
