That seems like wanting to avoid something to me she must know that any medication to help her would be prescribed.
Seems like she wants to avoid being labeled as something but to get any help she has no choice even if nothing is prescribed they are going to you are this or that.
A bit late, this also got my attention.

GR, talk with her if there is something she maybe is afraid to reveal to you about herself. It probbaly is not the case, but stories like this have happened: that somebody denied to meet a doctor becasue it would reveal to a loved one something the person wanted to hide. Pregnancy? Drug abuse? Signs of violence experienced at home? A genetically inherited disease in her family?

Talk with her, but be indirect and careful when asking for these or other possible factors.

People also avoid doctors because they are paralysed by fear over a diagnosis of something bad. If so, she feels like a deer in a searchlight right now. I'm sure you know how to handle her in that case.

Go easy, but secure definite answers to above questions.
