@leleo81682. This situation you describe with your mother is heartbreaking. My mother had major health problems and anxiety and depression. I lived across the country from her and while we talked frequently on the phone I was always worried.

I am 73-years-old and have a history of anxiety and depression. I know those feelings and symptoms too well and when I had an anxiety disorder that affected my ability to function in my daily life I knew I was really in trouble. I was 37-years-old at the time and the medication then were not nearly as effective as some of the meds available today. I was fortunate to have a very good psychiatrist who listened to me, He ordered tests to rule out heart disease and seizures and once I was "cleared" he prescribed medication for me that worked. It wasn't perfect and the anxiety and depression did not go away but it became more manageable.

Finding a psychiatrist even when you have private insurance such as Blue Cross/Blue Shield can be difficult. It does sound like it would be helpful to find a new psychiatrist for your mother. If your mother has a primary care physician does that medical provider have suggestions?

Some psychiatrists in private practice are listed on this website. You might try putting your mother's zip code to see if a psychiatrist is available near her.

Does your mother live alone? Do you live nearby? Are there are other family members who live nearby?
