Long distance ADD and Depression Girlfriend is struggling M23 F24

so my girlfriend of 3 years as of making this, with trauma from previous relationships and bullying growing up, has ADD and depression, and after about 2 months or so into dating her depression came back after her childhood dog passed away. For the longest time since her depression came back (she suffered previously a few years ago before we met but got it to disappear until now) she would fall asleep on call with me or a mutual friend, who was as well as me the only person she trusted to open up to, but as of late that has been essentially useless, and she has tried seeking professional help but has come across numerous challenges, including doctors and therapists saying “Oh she’s doing great” and refusing to help, so she has lost faith in professional health. She also has little support from her blood related family and is now waiting for when I can move in with her once I am done in college, so just wanted to make this post asking for ideas

just some notes

She is in Finland

I am in the US planning on moving back to Finland in 2-3 years after finishing school

She has ADD and Depression, has been struggling with depression for 11 years

I have Autism, as well as some neurological conditions

also sorry if there’s are any typos I am writing this early in the morning
