Not too likely. I assume it's because her grandson died, but that's really only a handwave in the anime as they never even try to explain it in the novel or manga. Interestingly, she doesn't go crazy in the film (so far as I can determine, having only seen the first five minutes of it). That's an odd adaptation, though. I mean, Izumi goes nuts like Kazami did and tries to kill the composite Takako/Daisuke character (who strangely survives this one; probably because she's got enough Daisuke in her), and gets her head cut off, while Naoya gets killed by the curse at the end. I'm not sure why they did that.
