I'd go along these lines as well, with a caveat on the girlfriend part. It depends how much that depression affects the rest of her life, what she's doing about it, and how positive the other traits of her are. I agree with you on the "seeking help" part, but said "help" doesn't necessarily have to be a shrink or meds (those things can often make things much worse).
You can have someone who has depression who deals with it very well and who overall is a decent person - or you can have someone who plays the blameshift game and drags you through the drama carousel. Both of those scenarios are very different.
