Jay,
I agree with the other poster, her weight issues are *not* the cause of her poor self-image, but I do know they can contribute. I'd tell her right out, "sweetie you are absolutely beautiful, you're not overweight, etc., but you shouldn't be afraid to take Wellbutrin because it actually helps people *lose* weight."
I'm not being artful, myself, here, but the point is to make her understand weightgain is *not* an SE of Wellbutrin (trust me).
And, for her sake, her son's sake, and yours, she's got to get to therapy to deal with her self-esteem/depression issues.....
Good luck. :-)
Susan
