it sounds like she feels like having a mental health problem would reflect badly on her, or be really negative, or mean that she is weak, that people wouldn't accept her... maybe you could subtly let her know that it would be ok if she needed help, and that lots of people struggle at times (the whole 1 in 4 people will have a diagnosable mental illness at some point in their life) and that you really just want her to feel better...
