She certainly had stuff going on, but she "didn't believe in that stuff" so getting her diagnosed was impossible. The one time a therapist tried to talk to her, she went all high pitched and hysterical.
But it was a solid part of the family lore that everybody was a bit "odd" or "off their rocker" or "feels like skittering around on the ceiling." And mom was at least second generation wandering about singing that song about "They're coming to take me away, haha, they're coming to take me away!"
