[Update] My (20F) sister (13F) has been experiencing something Seriously scary and I don't know what to do

Let me begin by apologizing for not interacting individually with everyone that responded to my previous post, exam time's been keeping me upto my neck in books.

Thank you for your help. I'm so grateful. I talked to my sister again yesterday and explained to her that may be a stress generated problem or the possibility of her being ill for which she need to see a psychiatrist.

It's because she requested in the first place that I do not inform our parents that I agreed to it. However, I explained to her that if she needs further treatment we will need to tell them, and she has agreed bc I spent a considerable amount of time explaining that I did not, infact, think that she was a lunatic, and that mental illnesses need to be addressed the same way physical illnesses are, and that I just want her to get better, the same way she does. I talked about the same with my brother, who concurs.

She has agreed but only after first seeing a psychologist employed by her school (she went to the counselor that day and was advised to do so), whom she will be seeing today. Hopefully things will get better and I'll try my best to help explain her condition to our parents to keep them from doubting her. Truthfully, I could not have had this talk or reasoned through this situation without all of you. I am extremely thankful. 🙇🏾‍♀️🙇🏾‍♀️

Tl;dr My sister agreed to seeing a psychiatrist conditional on recommendation of a psychologist, thank you for your help
