LOCATION: 55 MI E OF DFW. DURING CLBOUT AT DFW; FLT ATTENDANTS RPTED THAT A WOMAN PAX HAD BECOME UNRESPONSIVE AND WAS IN A SEMI-CONSCIOUS CATATONIC STATE. THE WOMAN HAD BEEN OBSERVED TAKING A NUMBER OF PRESCRIPTION DRUGS DURING THE BOARDING PROCESS. WE DECLARED A MEDICAL EMER AND RETURNED TO DFW WHERE PARAMEDICS MET THE FLT. THE WOMAN WAS IDENTED AS MS X. SHE WAS TRAVELING WITH A YOUNG TODDLER. THIS SAME WOMAN HAD MADE ODD AND ABUSIVE REMARKS TOWARDS THE FLT ATTENDANTS DURING THE BOARDING PROCESS. SHE MADE AN ALARMING COMMENT THAT SHE WOULD GET BACK AT US DURING THE FLT FOR HER PERCEIVED LACK OF HELP DURING THE BOARDING PROCESS. I ADVISED THE TICKET AGENT OF THIS; AND ASKED THAT THEY TALK WITH HER SO AS TO EVALUATE HER MENTAL STATE SUITABILITY FOR FLT. AFTER A 10 MIN INTERVIEW; THE SUPVR AGENT RPTED TO ME THAT MS X WAS OK AND WOULD BE NO PROB FOR US. WE LANDED 400 LBS ABOVE MAX LNDG WT. THE ACFT WAS INSPECTED; REFUELED; AND WE DEPARTED AFTER ONLY 30 MINS AT THE GATE. AS MS X DISEMBARKED THE ACFT; FLT ATTENDANT YY OVERHEARD MS X STATING TO PARAMEDICS THAT SHE WAS CURRENTLY BEING TREATED FOR PSYCHOLOGICAL DISORDERS.
