I have a depressed girlfriend. What should I do?

Question by trackstar32: I have a depressed girlfriend. What should I do?
As badly as I feel putting this information on the internet i need help. I have a longterm girlfriend that im in love with and intended on marrying. This girlfriend is depressed. Severely depressed. She has multiple therapists and goes to an intense substance abuse counseling for alcohol 3 times a week. Other than depression she was once bulimic(stopped now), cuts her self about once a month, abuses alcohol, suicidal thoughts, and isolates her self from all he friends except from me. I feel as if her depression is starting to affect me as if it is contagious. Idk what to do now. the last thing i would want to do is lose her but what to do. she hurts me more than she makes me happy sometimes but im in love with her. She is beautiful, smart , a good girlfriend. Also she is on a Antidepressant called lexapro. idk I feel this medication makes her abuse alcohol more, have trouble having please from sex and weight gain. I need to find some sort of guidance on what to do. please help.
Thanks so much i need all the help i can get but from what i know her depression isn’t caused by anything its an organic chemical imbalance or something
