When family members disagree about using inherited money for mental health treatment

My sister and I inherited some money that could really help with our therapy and mental health treatment, but she thinks we should invest it for the future while I desperately need it now, and we can't discuss it without her lecturing me about financial responsibility when she doesn't understand how bad my depression has gotten.
