Depression is an awful thing. And so misunderstood.
There are different causes for depression, so there are different treatments. But no matter what the cause, talking about it is one of the best things. Getting professional psychological help is one way.
From here though, it really does matter the cause. Some cases of depression are a direct cause of things that are happening in our life right now. For example, when I became very ill, was going through a divorce, had difficulties with my relationship with my daughter, and lost my job, I was told I had situational depression. The doctors told me the depression I was experiencing was caused by the situations in my life at the time and would probably go away when the events did. This type of depression lasts only as long as the events that caused it last and then will go away on its own.
However, depression can be caused by an imbalance of chemicals in the brain or situational depression can turn into chronic depression (where the depression lasts for a period of time and isn't directly related to current events in your life). Chronic depression requires professional psychiatric assistance and usually requires help using medication.
My situational depression did become chronic depression and I needed help from both a psychologist and a psychiatrist for a while. A psychologist is the one that talks about things and helps you learn new ways of behaving. The psychiatrist deals with the medication. No matter what anyone says, psychiatric and psychological help is not a bad thing anymore than going to a doctor to fix a broken bone is a bad thing. We all need help from professionals sometimes.
Good luck to you and your mother. Let us know how she is doing.

I forgot to mention: Do not try to diagnose the cause of the depression yourself. A professional needs to do this. A psychologist should either be able to do this or be able to refer you to someone who is qualified to do this. If she in fact is in chronic - or clinical - depression and it's treated like situational depression, it'll only make it worse. Chronic/clinical depression should never be ignored. It can be life-threatening.

Talk to God and Read the bible and sing songs to God. I don't mean just open the bible and read. Find wonderful happy scripture and read over and over. God will get rid of All sickness soon. Says the bible at Rom. 6:23, Rev 21:4. Read these in any bible.

The best and safest way thing to do to approach such situation is to seek medical help. they need to assess your mom first and from there, they'll diagnose if she needs to undergo some counseling or if she needs any medication. Please see a doctor asap. I wish your mom all the best.

When someone is depressed, they feel that something bad is going to happen, and it will happen again and again. In such event, the person sees more bad things about something; consciously or unconsciously. They always focus their attention on the problem and ignore the successes and the successes they achieved.
For someone who is so negative and have a tendency toward depression, everything that happens is a reflection of problems and setbacks. Changes in a person or a change in the environment, which is a reasonable change, the mind of someone who is depressed is evidence that something bad happened because of them.
The problem for people who are depressed is they feel there is no single thing that can satisfy them. Even when they realize they can improve their mood, they do not. The advice they received from their friends and families considered unnecessary and useless. One thing they feel is their inability to look forward to, or inspired by something and take notice.
They realize what they themselves under normal circumstances, but they do not like it. They realize what they should do but they are not able to do so. They are aware of what other people want from them, but they were unable to give it. They did not expect at some time things will improve. They lose hope and expectation slowly disappear from them. At this point, the depression did not let them feel the happiness and optimism.
We can overcome depression with the help of a specialist. Advice is given a specialist can be very helpful. Treatment given aiming to improve the biological mechanism in the mindset that allows a person to feel depressed. To treat depression effectively, you have to change your outlook and mindset. By changing the mindset of those who suffer from depression, you can create long-term protection against depression.
How to Overcome Depression with Self-Reliance?
In addition to help from a specialist, you can overcome depression by relying on yourself; among other things:
If you are not able to cope with depression alone and if your business is not successful, the best thing you can do is to accept the lack of it. Rather than trying to change your life by force, you have to accept yourself as you are, with what you feel and concentrate on the things you are capable of doing.
Depression will go away, but we can not predict when depression will occur. Progress therapist depends on many factors. You do not need to try to change the things you can not change it. Every time you have to do your best to help yourself, but at the same time you also have to accept your weaknesses.
Accept the fact that you are depressed and live harmoniously until you got over it. No one likes to feel depressed, but you must understand that it is useless to continue to cope with depression at this point because you do not have the strength, determination, and desire to move forward. Try to accept what is happening within you and around you and wait until your power back and you feel able to cope with depression.
Recognize Thoughts And Feelings Your Negative so that you are able to change and control the negative thoughts that keep you trapped in a cycle of depression, it is important for you to recognize these reasons, which are the main cause you to feel depressed.
The technique can be used is to record your negative thoughts every day for some time. Then you can spend about 20 minutes every day to identify, classify, and examine the negative thoughts. Note your thoughts and examination of the causes of depression that will make you able to recognize the reasons why you are pushed into a bad mental state and ended up with depression. By identifying negative thought patterns, you can prevent and fix even stop the cycle of depression.
