2. Adding that stress might just exacerbate it...

This is not a circumstance I’m willing to get into too deeply because of the number of factors involved, but coercive care can be damaging. I’m also not a qualified physician, which is who this needs to be left up to assuming she is not causing any damage to your property or self and she is managing. 12 days, including approximately 7 at your new job is time to let things unfold and possibly settle with both of you separated a bit more for a little while.

Edit: also concur with comment #1, auditory hallucinations have more sources than mental illness of a grade requiring hospitalization

Edit 2: urgent care centers and general practitioners are who you should see for checkups related to this and getting a diagnostic. Urgent care clinics are better for faster results if an appointment at a GP isn’t available for a while. I would pursue that before a hospital ER because those are for true active emergencies (active threats to cause harm, destructive or physically harmful behavior, inability to communicate/care for self to the extent possible with the disability)
