In this case, the first thing to determine is whether this is a change from her usual behavior, if something has happened that could explain this change. If so, it's very important to calmly convey that you're concerned and want to help her. Sit down with her, create a trusting atmosphere, and talk to her. Look for something that might be bothering her that you might not be able to see.
However, seeking professional guidance is the best way to clear up any doubts. Your primary care physician may be the first professional who can assess the situation and decide if it's worthwhile to consult a mental health specialist.
