HELP! I think my GF's mom went crazy *Doctor consulted*

my GF called me at around 4AM (Pacific Time) crying, and told me her mom had just woke her up, and asked her for the time and date. my GF, freaked out a bit, told her. and then her mom asked her whether she needed to work today, and my GF said yes. a few minutes later, her mom asks her why she's up, and my GF starts crying, saying "you woke me up, mom. don't you remember?" before this, at around 12:30AM, her mom yelled at my GF and her brother at the top of her lungs, telling them to goto bed. i asked her if she was drunk, since my mom got drunk once (almost never) and started saying weird stuff to me. nope, no alcohol in the house. her mom keeps walking into the kitchen, opening the drawers, and then walking back to my GF's room and asking for the time and date.

everything described above is very unusual. i've been with her for nearly a year now, and have never seen her mom act this way. i had goosebumps when she told me this through her sobs. i desperately went online to look for some sort of medical hotline, to no avail. i wanted to call 411, or get an ambulance to her house so at least a trained EMS personnel can take a look at her. i live about 25 miles from her, and wanted to go over, but she told me to stay put. instead, she called her nearby aunt, who went over, and then she told me she'll call me back, and hung up before i got to say anything consoling. i've since then text'd/called/IM'd her, with no response.

what could this be??? i'm studying for my finals now and this is totally wreaking havoc on me.

Edit: Could this be the onset of Alzheimer's?? her mom is about mid-40's.
Edit2: One of the first things i thought of besides alcohol, were pills. what could cause this sort of memory lapse?? also, her mom kept saying she's ok, that she's just confused. and she doesn't even remember yelling at them earlier that night.
Edit3: she displayed no signs of this before at all; this happened out of nowhere. which is why it's so freaky.
Edit4: so she finally called me back, and said her aunt simply told her to take her mom to the hospital in the morning.:|
Edit5: heading over to her house now.
Edit6: no go... i called to make sure she was still awake... she had started to sleep. she told me, almost commanded me, not to go. i told her i was really worried, but she insisted that i stay home and study, and said that she wouldn't open the door if i went over.
Edit7: they finally went to the doctor's this morning. he said over-emotion put her mom into a psychotic state. check back in two weeks to check on status. anymore episodes may put her over the edge.

I doubt if it's Alzheimers - yet. However, it could be hormonal and she's probably entering into menopause.

i hope that's all it is. it seemed to happen all of the sudden? is this common?
 
Maybe it is a sign from God that something bad was going to happen that night and you shouldn't have gone to bed ..

My grandmother called me at 2 A.M once and there was CM all over the house. She was like "why did I call you Im sorry good night". She saved our life. Weird huh?

Sleepwalking?

for that long? sorry i know too little about sleepwalking to know. from the time she called me since her aunt went over and she hung up, must've been at least 20 minutes.

Edit: and yes it was still happening when i got disconnected.

well, insults aside, lets hope this is menopause.

Sorry, not meant as an insult, just survival instinct formed from a crazy ex wife & a couple of crazy live in's...

BTW, she needs to go to the doctor for a full work up.

Diabetic? Low blood sugar can cause wackyness

Could be lots of possibilities. Let's hope this lady gets into see her doctor soon, though.

her mom is not diabetic.

my GF just called, and told me her aunt wantd to take her to the doctor tomorrow. i was like WTF, she's going half-crazy now and you want to take her tomorrow?? if she hadn't been sobbing i'd have yelled her head off for letting her aunt go like that. her mom walked into her room while i was talking to her, and asked why she took a shower earlier (5th time she asked). i don't know what to make of this. i told her it might be menopause. i really wish i could make her take her mom to the hospital but i can't. freakin finals, this has to be like the worst timing. i'm still contemplating just driving down there, but i've never been able to study at her place too well.

Stroke?

She needs to see a doctor.

i think a stroke would mean she'd be disabled by now, with no help.
 
blood vessle in her brain is doing the damage? A tumor that has been growing in her head is beggining to grow?

ER now.
 
Why the hell tomorrow? got better things to do today? Just make her goto the hospital now, its not like its gonna be better tomorrow.
 
you guys are right, i'm heading over there right now. lets hope i won't pass out on the freeway and then somebody will be starting another thread about me.

update when i get back. thanks for the help so far, guys!

Edit: no go... i called to make sure she was still awake... she had started to sleep. she told me, almost commanded me, not to go. i told her i was really worried, but she insisted that i stay home and study, and said that she wouldn't open the door if i went over.

Her mom might not be a diabetic, but people can become diabetic.

I used to do some home repairs for a lady - up until a year or so ago. She used to be a friend of mine and would take extra time to do a good job. The last few projects that I did for her - she would wig out. She would act quite irrational - say things that were quite odd, behave differently, etc. She even started digging on the work I was doing for her. I offered to redo the work, but she was in such a state, it was not possible. I suspect it was a very hormonal situation. She even joked at times that the "full moon" had an effect on her. However, she was not the same person that I knew.

She was a single lady - mid 50s or so. I guess the way she behaved, she chased any potential guy away. There's no way I could tolerate her behavior. I once thought of recommending a psychiatrist for her, but bit my tongue instead for fear of how she would respond.
