Hi... Please consult a Psychiatrist face to face along with your child, if possible, otherwise you can take consultation alone. She is certainly going through a disorder and this is not love seeking or attention seeking behaviour.
Her mother's suffering with Schizophrenia may have some deep impacts on her psyche but it may not be the cause of her present condition.
Various physical and mental health disorders/diseases run in the family but it is not always because of the genetics. Sometimes the lifestyle (diet/sleep/exercise/meditation), personal habits, behavioural patterns, interpersonal relations, beliefs, attitudes, social environment, etc. plays a much bigger role in making an illness run in a family.
NIMHANS, Bangalore is the best is Institute/hospital in Asia/India in Mental Health. It's is a Govt. Institute so the charges will be nominal, but the process might be exhaustive. I do know some good Psychiatrists in Bangalore but not in Andhra Pradesh/Kadapa.
Her treatment will involve a combination of medication and psychotherapy. She will recover from her condition. Even in case of her mother, I would like to tell you that in lot of cases of Schizophrenia a good amount of recovery takes place and they are able to pursue a career and lead a good marital/family life. Their condition becomes manageable in most cases.
Typically the treatment of Schizophrenia (or other Disorders of Psychotic nature) takes a longer period of time because convincing the family and the patient for treatment and keeping them on treatment in itself becomes a big task.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychiatrist first and a Psychologist later.
Medications along with CBT and Supportive Counselling is required.
