 She needs to help herself. If she wants to drop from uni to join the military then try get her excited about it. All you can do is be their for her and be the best boyfriend that you can be. Unfortunately you cannot make her seek help.

 This is unfair on you. You aren't a health professional, I presume, and that is what she needs. Until such time as she gets help you need to seek help on her behalf. Someone involved in pastoral care at college or a GP would be a start.
If she recognises she has a problem then she should seek help. It isn't unreasonable. You cannot think yourself or read yourself out of depression no matter how smart you are.
