Brief Answer:
Bases upon the information she is having psychosis
Detailed Answer:
Hi thanks for the query from HCM
I can understand your concern. To make diagnosis detailed history and evaluation needed. But her symptoms like inappropriate laughter, self talking or muttering, unresponsive spells sometimes and feeling that someone is trying to spoil her life or suspiciousness etc are symptoms of Psychosis most likely Schizophrenia.
She was given Olanzapine which is an antipsychotic drug. So most likely diagnosis bases upon history you provided is some psychotic episode most probably Schizophrenia.
Thanks
