That is really sweet that you are so concerned for her wellbeing.

Does she see a counsellor, and still see the psychiatrist for medication? Those are usually both really helpful (with each other) to keep a hold on the affects that depression can have on one's day-to-day functioning.

What really sticks out for me are a couple of things:
- She's jealous of your previous GFs. I'm not a doctor by any means, but perhaps she's insecure due to low self esteem? That can usually happen with depression. If she becomes too possessive though that could be a problem.
- She vacillates between saying hurtful things and saying she can't live without you. Also could be depression related, because I can say as someone who's depressed - it's hard to believe that someone cares, and we spend up a lot of energy trying to hurt them/get rid of them (even unconsciously) because we feel we deserve it.

I'm sorry she's dealing with this, and I'm sorry you're dealing with this as well. Depression is a hard thing to control at times. Seriously though, if she doesn't have a professional to talk to at least (and maybe a psychiatrist for meds), then she should really find a therapist. That can make a lot of difference when dealing with depression-problems.
