How do you help someone who doesnt know they need it?

So thats my question. My sister is in trouble due to paranoia. She had been this way for many years always thinking someone is trying to get her. A few odd things have happened over the years, but most of the stuff she tells me about are normal things that happen to everyone. But she doesnt seem to be able to apply normal situations to herself. Everything is a conspiracy. Her doctor has put her on meds to help, but I dont know that she can or will take them as she should. Its scaring me and my family, including her adult children. She is staying with me again, as she did a few weeks ago when she kicked her boyfriend out to make sure he wasnt the cause of all these things that are happening. Every time she hears a honk she has to make sure no one is trying to do anything to her car. Its crazy. But at least here she is not drinking and feels safe enough to leave her dogs and sleep if only for a few hours a night.
My daughter leaves early saturday morning to go home. I feel sad that she is leaving and bad that we couldnt do more. We spent what little money we had on the 4th of July bash so we didnt have money to go and do other things. She said she enjoyed the peace and quiet. Even if she is fibbing, I love her for it!:) She is out tonite with her friend from high school. I hope they have an awesome time. Goodnight all!
