When your mother was discharged from the mental ward, there should have been a follow up plan with a psychiatrist and possibly a therapist set up for her to follow through on. What was her diagnosis and did they prescribe or change any of her meds?
I would make her an appointment with a geriatric psychiatrist if there is one where you live. That ,might be hard to find. So, you would need to find a regular psychiatrist and when you call various offices, you can ask if they work with older people a lot.
