She may be very ill: if this is quite unusual behavior for her, and she doesn't have a psychiatric diagnosis it could be a sign of a stroke or another abnormal brain process. Encourage her to seek help, please.

Depends: this could be many different causes from depression leading to irritability to a neurodegenerative disease like frontotemporal dementia (Pick's disease) to a temporal lobe seizure disorder among others. she needs a thorough neuro evaluation with an MRI brain and an EEG if she there is no depression or prior psychiatric issues with anger
