I don't know if this will help you at all, but what convinced me to go to the doctor is when I realised I actually needed to. I hadn't really realised how different my life was to your average person's, until I'd become suicidal and wanted to die. And then it hit me that no, not everyone feels this way, clearly there is something wrong.

I don't think you can really convince your sister, but if you can help her see that she is suffering and that no-one deserves to suffer, she might start to see your way of thinking? If that makes any sense at all.
