Hi to treat depression you need to take Counseling sessions along with medication which helps you to  overcome from present condition. It will help you to reduce your medicine intake for some time & also you can stop medicines with doctors advice. When doctor says you are ok.

Hi... I hope it is prescribed by a Psychiatrist after proper examination and not by a regular Physician. If a Psychiatrist has prescribed it, please trust his professional acumen or consult another Psychiatrist for second opinion if you have any doubts. Clonazepam is a SSRI that works by increasing the overall effect of GABA chemicals in our brain which produces relaxation.
Next Steps
Start her Psychotherapy/Counselling to address her issues. Medication and Therapy go side-by-side.
