My sister suffered an anuerysm, 3 years ago. She has a drinking problem, suffers from depression, and short term memory problems. She also throws up after eating frequently. I though some of these sypmtoms were from the drinking, but they seem to persist afte almost a month sober.

She does not take care of her basic bodily functions such as showering. I am not sure what to do. I have tried to suggest things, but she either becomes defensive or withdrawn.

Please help me reach her. She is leaving to go over seas soon, and I'm afraid for her.
