Divorce is one of the most stressful situations that a person may encounter in life. It can lead to many different mental health issues. Irritability and put emotional control are usually a sign of the same.
Next Steps
it would be advisable to try and convince her to visit a mental health professional for a comprehensive evaluation
Health Tips
due to the stigma attached to visiting a mental health professional in our society, it is important to approach this situation delicately. try and highlight the changes that you and your parents have observed in her since the time of her divorce. try and stay calm even if she gets angry at the suggestion of going to a mental health professional.

Hi. Your sister has faced a divorce and if she is alone she will fall into depression. She must have a way to tell wat happened to her and how positively she can live for her future. She seems to be frustrated and do understand her. To make her feel happy and normal take her to a psychologist and get her counselled. She must open out problems and come to conclusion to ne happy. She might not be able to explain everything in her family or friends. Suggest her this idea. Counselling is done for normal people when they get stressed. Take it in right sense to visit a psychologist.
Health Tips
be more flexible with her. understand her feelings. ask her wat she wants. make her expressive. dont leave her all alone.
