Hello! It sounds like your mother may be experiencing symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) coupled with issues related to self-esteem and low confidence. Please note that the above mentioned terms are not an official diagnosis. They are merely a suggestion for you to understand your motherâs situation.
For you to get a confirmed diagnosis and deeper insight into your motherâs condition, you must consult a mental health professional like a psychologist or a psychiatrist. These professionals will not only provide you with a proper diagnosis, but also help you and your mother figure out why she often feels lost and low. If your prior consultations with psychiatrists have not gone well, look for new ones and start by asking them to not prescribe medicines just yet, as she has already been on them, but has not seen any improvement. Help your mother open up and try to understand herself why she feels the way she does. Help her believe that she truly matters and is loved by her near and dear ones. There are a lot of organizations that provide affordable and/or free therapy sessions, with various offers you can avail. Look for ones with practitioners that may suit your preferences and see if that works.
Your mother needs a lot of love and understanding on your part, but she also needs to realize that she is important and cherished not because of her role as a mother or wife, but as a person. Take care of her and yourself and stay safe!
