She suffers withpsychotic depression (Hears voices in her head telling her negative things about herself).

She Feels;no one cares for her, ugly, worthless, sad, angry, stressed, depressed.

She lives with her parents who are very controlling since she had been addicted to drugs in the past and was involved with dealers ect.

Her parents don't know about me (her boyfriend) because she knows they wont let her see me even though I'mcompletely differentto her previous bf's (hard to prove basically).

She wont let her parents know shes depressed or even take anti depressants, she wont go the doctors and ask to continue theraphy because she felt that made it worse. I think she needsmedication for the voices but she just wont help herself.

What do Ido? what can Ido? Please help I'm worried about her.

Unfortunately, unless your girlfriend wants help, there isn't a lot you can do, except be there for her and encourage her to consider going to a dr. I know for me, when I was struggling, the more people told me I needed to get help, the more I backed up. I had a friend who just continued to say, "Please consider going to the dr. I will go with you if you need me to." And eventually I went.

Your girlfriend isnot getting the help she obvioudly needs. Its up to you to be a real friend, and go speak to her parents and clue them in on all that is happening medically with her. If she cant help herself, then someone needs to.
