I understand your concern. Is the problem of a recent onset? How has her sleep and food intake been? Have you done any neuroimaging for her? More clarity is needed regarding all these as well. I suggest you take her to a neuropsychiatrist for complete initial evaluation. If you need further assistance I would be more than happy to help you with that. It is easily manageable. Some counselling and if needed medical help might be useful for her. You can directly consult with me through Practo. Online chat consultation is available.
