I realize that Aliantha's suggestion of slipping something like St. Johns Wort into your gf's tea was made tongue in cheek ... but perhaps a word of caution here about the general idea. Any herb can interact with medications already being taken, sometimes negatively; St. Johns Wort in particular can do this. If anyone is using herbs therapeutically, it's important to let a treating physician know so that adverse interactions can be avoided.

Ali's general suggestion, in terms of looking at some sort of therapy, is a good one though ... not stupid! It sounds like your gf's symptoms are making her very unhappy, and they might be alleviated with appropriate therapy.
