Should An Alcohol Addict With Lack Of Appetite Be Taken To A Psychiatrist?

I am looking for a doctor to take my sister to. She is 59 year old female who now weighs 80 lbs. Normally we have both weighed 115lbs over our life time. The last seven years she drinks alcohol, smokes her cigarettes, eats a pack of crackers daily. We both know she should not drink because of family history (alcohol abuse). At this point it is not the alcoholism I am worried about it is her starvation pattern. Can you refer a psychiatrist in Columbia South Carolina I can take her to. Carol Chavis. 803 740 9658.
