would you offer to go to the doctor's with her to give her some support and so you can may be help explain how things are?? do you think your mum might go with that?
I know it's really hard having parents with mh problems, my dad when he was alive was depressed and an alcoholic (he wouldn't seek treatment) and my mum is a depressive (it's taken me a year to convince her she needs to try a new anti-d because she's been struggling, finally she's just changed anti-d).
It's hard admitting something is wrong. We can perceive ourselves as being weak or a failure, especially if the person is supposed to be in the traditional care giving role of a mother or father.
Keep posting!
