Hello Friend, Good that you are seeking a help here. I can understand her situation and it's quite common problem for people working in night shifts. Definitely it's the fear and worries due to job stress, work life imbalance, guilt of not leading a normal life etc causes such anxious thoughts, behaviors and finally depression.
Be positive. There are solutions to overcome and help to balance the lifestyle. Today many people live in such jobs and able to balance. It's just need a guidance and small commitment to follow.
Feel free to reach me online for further assessment of her both physical and mental symptoms to first identify the root cause behind such changes and then recommend simple and practical treatment plan. Be positive. She will be alright soon.

Hello practo user
I can understand your concerns and it is seen that working night shifts can bring about these changes as our circadian rhythm is not set like that . Lifestyle changes can help such as eating a healthy and balanced diet , regular exercise is beneficial . Try and suggest meditation and deep breathing as they can help clear the thoughts . Sleep hygiene can also be made better by having relaxing tea or warm milk , taking a nice warm bath , limiting caffeine and also spending time with close family members and friends whenever possible. If there is any stress regarding work try and communicate with her. It is suggested that you seek help from a clinical psychologist for diagnosis and formulation of a treatment plan through which she can learn healthy and positive coping strategies . You can also reach out to me through the practo app for any further help or guidance.
