i appreciate your concerns and asking on health care magic. Your mother is most probably having delusions of persecution and paranoia, i would suggest to give her liquid antipsychotic medicine in water so that her delusions start receding and you can take her to a psychiatrist. Haloperidol comes in liquid form and you can give upto 5ml 12 hourly. I hope you find this helpful.
