Hello,
From the symptoms you mentioned here it is likely to be a psychotic disorder. It is usual that such patients develop negative symptoms.
You should try to start her on antidepressants for this. This drug will provide her motivation, give back her zeal for life, she would feel like doing things and concentration will improve. Drugs like sertraline or escitalopram are good choices as antidperessants.
Also, try to tactfully involve her in talks and usual household chores, even if she does less but still make her do it.
When some guests come-make her sit with yourself and guest. Donot leave her alone, this would help her come back to social life.
Also, her dcotor should see if she is developing side effects to already prescribed drugs. If yes, then reducing the dosage or shifting to better molecules will help a lot.
Wish you good health
