Brief Answer:
probable depression; consult psychiatrist.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I can understand your concerns for your sister.
She is always tearful, fearing the god will punish her for her sins.
From your description, I feel that she is suffering from depression.
However, a detailed mental status examination by a psychiatrist is must in such case.
As you have mentioned that she is inconsolable, it must be assessed whether her beliefs are delusional or not.
Antidepressant drugs like sertraline or paroxetine and sleep inducing drugs like clonazepam or alprazolam will help her.
If needed, antipsychotic drugs like olanzapine in low doses will supplement antidepressants.(all are prescription drugs).
Kindly visit a psychiatrist for her thorough examination and appropriate treatment.
Hope this helps.
Feel free to ask further.
Take care.
