Answers: if any one's seen the movie American Beauty, what's wrong with Ricky's mother?

She is emotionally detached from the world, not necessarily insane or mentally ill. It never clarifies or even truly hints at what is truly the matter with her.
The film is about the disturbing, underlying nature and delusion of the American Dream. Her character exemplifies that because she is so out of touch with the real world that she cannot even realize how messed up her family and neighborhood truly are. She is numb to the world, much like most of America, as the film attempts to portray.
She probably does need professional and emotional help but her husband most likely wouldnt allow it because it would be embarassing and expose their lives as being abnormal, which ultimately happens in the film for different reasons and terrible results.

I thought she was insane.

I'd assume she's put up with Chris Cooper (father) for far too long. His misery and overwhelming guilt probably consumed her. She's probably suffering some sort of mental illness.
