You say she's being treated for depression, but it sounds like the medication isn't working very well. She might have an anxiety issue too, if she has anxiety attacks it will make her uncomfortable about going outside.
The term you are looking for is agoraphobia... here's the link for the wikipedia entry...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agoraphobia
She needs a friend or family member to go with her to the Dr and tell them what's going on so she can be treated for it. Good luck!
She needs help. You don't want to get in trouble like the boyfriend of the lady in the bathroom for 2 years.
Agorophobia.
She needs to see a doctor. try to persuade her to go - go with her if you can. She could be suffering from agoraphobia, which is a fear of open spaces. If she is then she will be offered treatment to help her with the problem.
I think she might be a germophobe or she might have anxiety. Germophobia is being afriad of catching germs, so you stay inside your home. Anxiety is when you need to stay home because you're afraid of the outside world and how it can harm you.
Hope this helps!! :D
you are not helping her doing things for her she needs to be strong in herself and stop depending upon others and the only way this will happen is if people say no.

This sounds like agoraphobia, the fear of leaving the home or safe place. Some people are able to overcome the condition through work with a therapist who is experienced in treating phobias. Search out info on the condition, & encourage her to contact an experienced therapist. Be available to offer any support she needs, but don't try to push her, as it can backfire..She's lucky to have a friend like you..
