Answers:
Was she diagnosed after her stint in A&E!? it could be a manic episode!. Call her GP or psychiatrist!? If you try to talk to her and she seems psychotic then you may wish to call an ambulance just to be on the safe side!.
For the meantime, call a family friend ASAP so you're not dealing with this on their own!.
EDIT: If she's been diagnosed as psychotic then you really should call someone ASAP an ambulance will perhaps be the best thing, it doesn't have to be the scary fuss with the flashy lights and sirens!. In the meantime, try not to do anything to aggravate her and CALL SOMEONE, you shouldn't have to go through this on your own!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Keep asking her, and stress how much it's upsetting you!. She may be psychotic but she's still your mother and hopefully she doesnt want to hurt your feelings!. Offer her a compramise like suggesting she put her earphones in, or lend her your MP3 player!. Later on ask her to take her medication, try not to make a big deal of it!. Tell her that if she doesnt like being on the medication, she can always come off them but you think it's best that she follows the doctors advice because you're worried about her and love her!. If things continue to be unstable then call out a doctor again and explain she's not been taking her medication!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
This must be very upsetting and scary for you, I would phone/text one of your friends or a family member so your not feeling alone!. Try and get them to come round, if it's a friend then ask their parents to come too!. If you get the number for your local police station online (not 999) you can always phone them and chat to them, as they can come out and advise your mum to turn it down!.
Once she has turned the music down I strongly advise you contacting the crisis team to discuss your thoughts and feelings about your mum!. They can make things happen (change medication/arrange a short stay in hospital) and help your mum cope with her illness!. If it's an emergency then call an ambulance!.

the police may not be needed right now!.
call a close, adult, family friend and explain the situation!. ask them to please come over so you do not have to deal with this all on your own!.
then together, you can call the hospital where she was getting help!.
if she becomes violent or looks as if she might hurt herself, you or anyone else, call the police!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I agree with Swandive!. You may have to call an ambulance before the neighbors call the police!. Either way, she will get the treatment she needs!. You didn't mention if the doctor she saw last week prescribed any medication, but obviously its not helping yet!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
