It's not uncommon at all for people to deny their psychological issues or refuse to seek treatment, just as we do with our addictions. And just like alcoholism, only she can make the decision to seek help. Of course there are some severe disorders where an individual is a danger to themselves or others and can be placed in protective custody or treatment against their will, but for the most part people need to accept their issues and face them/treat them just like we need to accept and treat our addiction.

Your concern for your friend is admirable and she's lucky to have you - hopefully she'll realize what she needs and get it.
