Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,
I can understand her situation. It could be due to recurrent thoughts which are intrusive and not able to be controlled by her.

She needs to be taken antidepressants like fluoxetine. If not responding she can try with sertraline and chlomipramine along with cognitive behaviour therapy.

Discuss with your doctor regarding these drugs.
Thank you
