Is mom schizophrenic or bi-polar? Sounds like she needs to be placed in a psychiatric hospital, if she won't go on her own, you might have to get a court order to get her there because it sounds like she's a danger to herself, as well as others. You need a professional to diagnose her first, I think.
Best of luck with mom. Please don't put your own life on hold while you try and take care of her, you need to realize that there is only so much any one person can do.

I have worked with such persons many years. Two strategies can be used:
try to talk to the person and tell he you are real worried and you care about here. thats why you ask her to take the medicine right now. Be honest and tell her she dont is healthy right now.
the other way is : negotiate about it, negoatiate about for example that you else must call help from outside and you can not be responsible to wait long , no more than 1 hour.
This one works better if there are several people when you talk to create strong pressure on her.
model this two examples to fit your actual sitaution
If thoose 2 dont work do call a doctor or whatever help there is in your country.If this siatuation is now you cant be responsible and all effort should go to get help from outside so to speak.

sounds quite serious, possibly schizophrenia.
you could call the hospital (the psychiatric unit) to send out a medical team to take her in to hospital. they most likely will talk to you over the phone to get some idea of the problem, and if they think it is serious enough, will come and get her to hospitalise her.
it sounds like an awful lot for you to be trying to cope with alone. and if there are other children involved, lacking care, then you definately need to get outside help. i hope you also can get family members to help you at home.
god bless and good luck.

DO NOT CRUSH MEDS - meds are designed to be take only as per directions. crushing meds effects at what part of the digestive system the meds are taken into the body, often in relation to before or after the liver. PLEASE TAKE ONLY AS DIRECTED
If she is refusing food this is quite serious and as a carer you have a duty of care to seek professional assistance. I work with a young man whose medication is effective only with exact body weight measurement, he lost five kilos once, his meds became ineffective and he ended up chasing his dad around the house with and Axe. Phyciatric issues are terrifying and it's scary for your mum long before it scary for you. Please imagine living with with someone who is actually trying to kill you and understand that weather you are or not she actually be lives that you are trying to kill her, she lives her life scared. She already needs more help then you can give her you need to find someone who can help her.
If i haven't helped your problem i hope I've at lease helped you understand your mother.

Crush in a mortar & pestle, or dissolve capsules in hot water, and add to her food (use sweet 'n sours, curries, or hot 'n spicy if medication is strong tasting - try some - spit it out after tasting). Avoid meat then, mash sardines, or use chicken, turkey or beef/ham paste sandwich spread.

You may have to talk to her doctor and have her admitted to a psychiatric hospital against her will. By not eating properly is is causing harm to herself, and she is causing the rest of the family distress.

Stop giving medication and start giving vocal consolation.
