Hi iv used essential oils personally for anxiety and depression. I used bergamot and lemongrass separately. I would often just put a few drops on my clothes my bra or collar so that I could sniff them... It helped lift my mood. Also peppermint I find helps my mind. Hope your wife gets some relief with them... You can buy simple books or there should be stuff in the library to help there are many other ways to use them from adding them to your bath or diffusers etc. Best of luck
