Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.

I understand that you are concerned about your mother's psychological problems. From the description of her symptoms, it appears that she is suffering from a psychotic disorder.

However, a detailed evaluation and psychological assessment is necessary to arrive at a definitive diagnosis and to start treatment. Effective treatment is available in the form of medication and psychological therapy. So, I would advise you take her to a psychiatrist for a detailed evaluation and further help.

Wish you all the best.

Regards,
