From your description of her symptoms, it appears that she is having delusional beliefs and this seems to be the cause for her suspiciousness. This and the other symptoms of irrelevant talk and abnormal behaviour are indicative of a mental illness called Psychosis.Your wife needs a detailed psychological assessment by a Psychiatrist in order to conform the diagnosis and plan further treatment. Effective treatment is available with antipsychotic medication. So, please take her to a Psychiatrist as early as possible.Regards,Dr. Jonas SundarakumarConsultant Psychiatrist
