Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
I think, she is in adjustment disorder and in that case, she needs medication as well as supportive therapy. You should consult a psychologist for her therapy. With supportive therapy, she would feel better and that would help her to come out of situation. In case, you need further help, you can consult us.
Thanks
