How to determine whether or not my mother needs a mental health evaluation?

How to determine whether or not my mother needs a mental health evaluation?My mother secretly moved out of my parents house, rented an apartment and took $ 10,000 from their joint savings account. This all in three short days and not talking to or telling anyone about her need to do so including her husband, my father. I say it that way because she always talks to me, her older sister, or her youngest sister. My mom is in her 50's and my parents have been married for 38 years. My parents have been needing counsling for about 5 years now and they both have been lazy on taking care of their marriage. I need to know if anyone has gone through a seperation or divorce where one or the other may need to seek mental health counsuling due to irratic behavior.

honey, this is not erratic behavior....she wants out and away from your Dad....she's had enough. He is lucky she didn't take all the money. Mind your own business and stay out of your parent's marriage. Unless of course, you would like your parents to treat you this way when you get married.

yeah your mom is going through a very difficult time, it may be due to mental problems, sometimes people are afraid of aging, of getting older. its scary to them. all i can think is let her know you still love her that she is important and you won't leave her or stop loving her, i think she is looking for some kind of love.
