Dear lybrate-user it's good news that your sister recover well in comparison to last year, as far as next I will recommend you to consult any good clinical psychologist in your area and go for CBT which restructure your sister's cognitive thinking which not only help in Depression recovery but also improve personality and decision making habits so by this she will recover fully, but yes it take time like 6 months to one year.
