I note your age and wonder how old you mother is. If this is a new problem (not one that's been going on for years) I would discuss it with other members of your family to see if they have noticed similar changes. Sudden personality changes in the elderly (65+) may be early signs of dementia or other organic brain disease.

The mood swings will be caused by something in particular, so maybe gently talk to her and ask her about why she suddenly changes. Perhaps she's just very insecure about a lot of things and just finds it hard to control her temper when it all goes wrong. Just talk to her a bit and see if she'll open up.
