Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Sudden onset headache, mental confusion, disorientation etc. are more suggestive of brain pathology like meningitis (infection). So better to consult neurologist as well soon as possible and get done MRI brain and lumber puncture to rule out meningitis. If both these are normal then possibility of psychiatric illness is more likely. So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. She may need anxiolytic and anti-depressant Chat Doctor.  Don't worry, she will be alright but first diagnose her and start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your wife. Thanks.
