I'd like to add my 2 cents. I recently went through a rather short bout of anxiety and depression. The things that I found the most helpful were understanding and support from my family, and the care of a good psychologist. I was on medication ( a very small dose) for a short time (4 months) and have successfully weaned off the medicaiton (with physician supervision) and am doing much better. I can't stress enough how much I wish I had started seeing a therapist at the beginning of my depression instead of when things got too tough for me to handle. It would have saved me a lot of sadness. Good luck to you and your mom. It is beatable, and it will get better.
