My name is Chris, and i have a friend that i am concerned about. He lives at home with his mother. His mother has some issues and they directly affect my friend. THe first issue is the house in which they live. THe mother clutters the house with new clothand items which she never intends to use, there are dirty clothes everywhere, and in most rooms there are only small trails to get from one place to another. Furthermore, she has over 20 cats, all of which are allowed into the house at one time or another. THe house is riddled with cat poop. There is trash on the floor, food on the floor, and newspapers all around the house. HTe backyard is no exception to this, their pool hasnt been cleaned in over 5 years, yet the mother refills the pool, there are bugs and algy growing int he pool. THere is trash throughout the entire backyard as well. I have only listed a few things concerning this first issue. to sum it up the mother fills the household with junk, trash, and leaves cat poop and food everywhere. any attempt by my friend to clean is futile, for the mother will soon thereafter dirty areas that he cleans.
THe second issue is her attitude, she is extremly paranoid. She put items such as old washers and dryers in front of door ways to keep "theives" out of the house. She is constantly worried that someone will break into their house. She parks her cars in the front of the house in a manner which she described to me as an attempt to make it more difficult for thieves to get stuff out of the house.
THe third issue is her mood. She often can go from being very calm to getting very excited. She will get super upset at some of the smallest of problems. One time she gave her son the keys to her car to get something out of it, he took them with us to get a coffee. When i got back into my car from the coffe place she had left me 3 messages telling me how important it was for her to have those keys right now. Another example of her moods was when she got locked out of the house. she called her son and told him she was locked out( he was with me). He offered to come home (only a five minute drive from where we were) but she refused and slept in her car overnight instead.
I could go on forever about this, I know something is seriously wrong with this picture, and she is so sttubborn that no one can talk to her.

Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong with her?

Does anyone know of anything I can do to help my friend?
