Looking for a specialist...

Hey everyone,
Lately, my mom hasn't been doing so great. She’s been retired for a while now—just hit 60 recently—and she basically spends her entire day just hanging around the house.
She’s become incredibly high-strung lately; constantly cleaning, frantically tidying up everything in sight (she doesn't even have any hobbies or anything to keep her busy), and whenever she gets the chance, she’s picking fights with the rest of us.
Things really boiled over this week, and it ended with her blood pressure spiking—which was actually diagnosed as stress-induced—some bleeding issues, and an emergency room visit.
I’d love some advice on how to handle this because she’s just completely given up on herself. Does anyone know a good psychiatrist who could at least sit down and talk to her or maybe put her on some kind of therapy? Also, does anyone happen to know what the hourly rate usually looks like for sessions?
Has anyone else dealt with something similar? It would mean a lot if you could help me out.
Thanks in advance 🙂
