Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.
I understand that you are concerned about your sister's psychological problems. I have gone through the description of her symptoms in detail and my opinion is that she is likely to be suffering from an a psychiatric disorder called OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER (OCD). However a detailed history and psychological assessment is necessary to confirm this diagnosis.
Don't worry, there are effective treatment options for OCD - in the form of medication and psychotherapy, which will help her overcome these problems. Usually medication called SSRIs are used as first-line treatment for this disorder. So, I would advise you to take her to a psychiatrist for further evaluation and treatment.
Wish you all the best.
