Since you mention she has feelings of paranoia; and if its consistent, you might want to ask her to consult a psychologist to rule out schizophrenia since that is just ONE of the many symptoms of schizophrenia, I am not suggesting she does have but if some how you are aware of the DSM IV for schizo then it'll be more worth looking into.

I notice there's a lot of people commenting about how to deal with depression and all that, I would like to add on that if anybody reading this feels like they are unable to cope with their issues or mental issues, please seek professional help. Because not everybody is capable of reading a book and fixing yourself, and not all of these books are written by credible mental health professionals, some are just self-help books written by lay people who have no in-depth knowledge on psychology. There's a lot more than just thinking positive and keeping yourself busy because there are something very fundamental that needs to be addressed, such as how you process information, how your perception works on your surroundings, what are you lacking in your life that causes these thoughts to occur and many many more.
