Harry Potter text- What does “one’s mind is going” mean?

English Language & Usage Asked on May 17, 2021

In the last few lines of Lily’s letter to Sirius Black (The book Harry Potter), she wrote:

I don’t know how much to believe, actually, because it seems incredible that Dumbledore could ever have been friends with Gellert Grindelwald. I think her mind’s going, personally!

What does “her mind is going” mean here?

I tried to google but failed to find relevant information, is it a not-so-common phrase? If so, wonder what’s the more commonly used phrase in the similar meaning.

One Answer

It means that her mind is going wrong, that she is losing her mind, that she is behaving foolishly. It is a common expression.
