"I care and worry": She may not need a medical doctor - a good psychotherapist can be seen as more of a coach. That's a good start anyway. Rx is not always needed. Too many today are too concerned w/ looks - it's a great topic for therapy talk. Friends can be very valuable but can't bear the whole burden of emotional pain. Let her know you'd like the security of professional help w/ getting through it.
