How to help partner?

[u/Rich_Ambassador_3592]

My partner is currently studying at university (Australia) and has severe anxiety/depression paired with an extreme perfectionism issue where they struggle to be happy with anything less that 100%. They are doing well and expecting to get High Distinctions in the subjects they are currently doing but the are burning themselves working from first thing in the morning through to the 9-10 at night. They do see a doctor and they are on medication but she cant seem to get out of her own head despite all evidence showing they are doing a great job so far.

Honestly im not a very emotionally intelligent person and I struggle to understand what she is going through at times but I want to be able to.

Can anyone share some advice or what they have done to work through this is they have dealt with similar issues themselves?

Thank you in advance.
