Is this normal behaviour??

One of my friends was diagnosed with MS 2 or so years ago and had her first major relapse 2 months ago. I understand that balance and coordination are affected and her walking is coming along very well. I also understand that depression can be a factor with MS too.
However my concern is other elements of her behaviour. She has begun coming out with random things mid conversation that bear no relevance to the conversation being had. I've been told by others that she has also begun acting childish and using inappropriate language. Previous to her relapse she also started to gossip and bitch more than normal and then played dumb after - denying it and then blaming her MS.
Ive tried talking to her about this - trying to see if maybe depression is getting to her? Her responses never really make any sense at all. It's really quite worrying.
Is this behaviour a known symptom of MS?
