hi dear,
without seeing patient to treat is very difficult as for proper diagnosis detail history and mental status examination is necessary.
you can take her forcefully to doctor once.
what ever you describe about her suggest that she might have psychotic illness.
there are many medication like typical anti psychotic like haloperidol, chlorpromazine etc and atypical anti psychotic like risperidone, olanzapine etc..
but without seeing patient difficult.
consult psychiatrist.
Thank you
