Hello
Welcome here.
Brief: psychological treatment and medicines will help.

Details: I can understand your concerns for your niece. Depression is a distressing condition. You have mentioned that your niece always has negative thoughts about her parents and feels depressed.
I think she needs psychological treatment like cognitive therapies first, to correct her negative thoughts. If this doesnt work, drug treatment would then be required. Drugs like escitalopram and sertraline are helpful.
Please visit a psychiatrist for proper evaluation and treatment.

Hope this helps.
Thanks
