I understand your concern towards your mother. She seems to be suffering from seasonal affective disorder causing depressive and panic symptoms that you have mentioned. However more clarity is needed regarding her problem to decide on severity of the condition. Don't worry it is not her fault, it is the hormonal and chemical fluctuations in brain as a result of stress which is taking a toll on her mental health. It is easily manageable with appropriate treatment, so that dysfunction due to the same can be reduced and her quality of life will improve. Some counselling sessions along with medical help might be useful. I would also be more than happy to help you with that if you are looking for further online assistance or second opinion. Discussions will be held confidential. You can directly consult with me through Practo as needed. Online chat consultation is available.
