Hi,
It would be a good idea to talk to the girl's parents or her next of kin to discuss her getting the help she needs. If she is mentally capable of making decisions, then the doctors would not be able to force her to get treatment.
There are a few cases in which treatment is decided by the parents. These cases are -
when the child is young or a minor
mentally unable to make decisions.
Usually, a mental state exam is done to understand the status of the mind and decide the exact cause of the symptoms. Along with this, the therapist will talk to the patient to confirm the cause.
Once the cause is determined, therapy can be started.
Some therapy types include -
Cognitive behavior therapy
Medications
Group therapy
Counselling
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Vignan Rachabattuni, General & Family Physician
