There is a good chance she can be considered disable. 2/3 of approved claims are mental health cases.
The most important thing is medical documentation. It also is a good idea to coplete the Adult Function Repport available at www.ssdi-help.com.
Her age is beneficial since SSA doesn't believe people of her age can adapt to a new job.
Good luck
