That sounds a bit delusional, or maybe psychotic? She may be depressed with psychotic features, maybe?
Whatever it is, that's all very serious, and that girl needs help. Did this start when she started the ADs? Or is it longer standing than that? If it's recent, and only showed up after the ADs, hie her off to a good psychopharmacologist ASAP -- that med doesn't seem like such a great choice for her. Some antidepressants can cause side effects like psychosis in some people.
I hope that helps, and give your friend my best wishes -- that's got to be brutal for her.
