Help with Depression

These sort of issues can be worked through with counselling, but sometimes that is not enough if depression is profound or pervasive. There are some excellent treatments for depression these days, so you and your mother needn't feel you must cope alone.Ask your physician for help... he/she may be able to recommend something to help boost neurotransmitter levels in the brain which makes everything so much easier to cope with. And yes, they usually do take some weeks to work, so the earlier you ask for help the better.
