You are very kind to have helped her so much!

She needs professional help that you cannot provide & her illness makes her resistant to your urges to take meds or get help.

I don't mean to stigmatize mental health issues, but this could potentially become a dangerous situation. Who knows what the voices in her head are telling her? Presuming she is having auditory hallucinations.

In my experience as a mental health professional for many years, the voices never tell the afflicted anything positive.

I would suggest you not mention to her that you are looking for professional help for her because the voices might begin to perceive you as a threat.
