my friend may have depression, I'm not sure

I feel a bit powerless to help her, my gut feeling is she should leave her husband who is very emotionally distant to her, but I wouldn't tell her that as she wouldn't like it

any advise? she tried anti d's and gave up on them

she has kids and I feel she's passing on her feelings to her eldest and making her depressed to, she sort of lives through this dd

I dont find it easy to talk to her about this, I feel I can see reasons for a lot of the things wrong in her life but dont voice it to her, as I dont think thats the right thing to do

shes also been to counselling, didnt help her
