Meanwhile my mom is digging imaginary parasites from her arms and feels like I think she’s crazy.

While I don't mean this as a diagnosis, the last person I knew who did that was later diagnosed with schizophrenia. Although getting mental health care can be a challenge in itself, let alone for someone who doesn't want to.
