Hi, I am first of all she needs to be on regular medication for depression because it can relapse even negligence and taking medicine properly can resurface her symptoms because it is severe. Apart from that regular therapy sessions from a psychologist will really help her handle her emotions and behaviour specially her thoughts because it’s a thoughts that cause everything every pain every emotion and every action so working on it really helps I can help you with that I can help you mother with that. Please reach out to if I can be of any help. Let me know for the counselling sessions online. Take care.
