Need some advice with a friend undergoing depression

For starters I'm originally putting this in S7 because this group is generally more mature. Anyway, I have a friend, lets call her Rachael . Rachael is seeing a depression counsellor because she's depressed, obviously. For a slight bit of back story, Rachael was ra­ped a couple months ago, and it's obviously the ultimate root of her depression. Anyway, she has said that she doesn't want to tell this counsellor about it because she's afraid that if she does it will go to the police, and she doesn't want to let her family find out and be upest (at least that's what she says why she doesn't want to) But, if the fact that she was rap­ed is what's making her depressed, and she isn't telling the councillor why she is depressed, then would the councillor still be able to "cure" the depression?

  • She obviously trusts you, if she shared that with you and not her family. I think you should persuade her to report the crime. It's not just that she needs to come to terms with what happened, but that if the rapist is still at large, he could hurt someone else. Also, do you know this thread is public?
