Should I seek counseling for my troubled sister?!


Question: Should I seek counseling for my troubled sister!?
I'm not sure whether I should pressure my little sister into getting counseling or not!. You see when she was 7 she was molested and ever since she has been completely depressed!. I didn't learn about this until around now when she was 12 and I have been helping her as best I can like any good brother would do, but its hard for me to understand how to help her!.

She has been staying awake ridiculously late and waking up early to avoid sleeping because she has horrible nightmares about being raped and molested!. Up until I had learned about her depression she had been cutting herself, but after I helped her she stopped, and she has stopped drinking alchohol!. She is still depriving herself of sleep, and it wasn't until yesterday that she told me about her nightmares!.

She has been steadily improving but I'm concerned that when I go away to college she wont have me to keep her on the right track anymore!. She really doesn't want to share her problems but I think it would be good for herWww@Answer-Health@Com
