Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. There are reasons beyond dermatological in hair fall issues. Among others, stress and anxiety is also two causes which can trigger rapid hairfall. Your wife is already under treatment for depression. Now, I suggest, she should practice meditation and psychotherapy to calm her mind and change her lifestyle. These two, along with exercise and medications, will help her manage her depression and thereby the hair fall. Please consult a psychologist.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
