You might want to step back a bit, and let her family and friends talk to her based on what you've said about your brother being a bit controlling. Unless you're willing to be upfront in acknowledging his part of the problem (and if you do, you're going to get him mad), she probably will see you as ganging up with him.
When I was depressed enough, it wouldn't have occurred to me to get help. It didn't seem like anything would help. I only got help when I was anxious, not depressed. It wasn't denial, just profound hopelessness.
