Hello lybrate-user, She could get evaluated by a licensed clinical psychologist. They would give their expert opinion about whether they would be needing medicines or not. To be active is one of the most important strategies for managing depression. Go for simple walks or engaging in exercise activities would help. Minimise alone time, be with people. Go for outings. Identify any stressors and help to manage that. All the best for your friend's recovery.
