Her symptoms indicate she may be suffering from disorganized schizophrenia.
This type of schizophrenia, also known as hebephrenia, has to do with people who cannot tell their delusions from the actual reality, are quite incoherent and exhibit illogical behavior and thoughts, and generally cannot take care of themselves on their own.
