My girlfriend suffers from depression for about 8 years now, how can your findings (and also overall knowledge) help her free herself from it?

I'm not sure, she's been jumping from one psychiatrist to another, her mother also builds distrust into her regarding psychiastrists in general. She just takes medications. I'm with her for 3 years already, she just does that, takes the pills daily. She changed the medication twice during these 3 years. She never mentioned anything apart of taking pills. She goes to the doctor just to take another prescription to buy more pills and that's it.

He doesn't need to, they indeed are.

I don't think so. Actually I dont do research on the medication she is taking, but as far as she knows, she's just taking regular antidepressant, nothing "special" or out of the ordinary. BUT I'll take a look at it, and also at the specific medication she's taking. Thank you for the direction!

Oh yeah! Thank you for telling me this, I've just started (few months only) to run twice a week with my gf, then this week we upgraded it to three times a week, making wonders to us! Every aspect of the relationship improved, some just slightly, some other aspects improved a lot. Knowing your life experience makes me more confident in exercising with her (:
