My mom is in depression since 10+ years
My mother is living in her own delusional world where everything else doesn't matter, she thinks something is talking to her & she keeps talking to them 24/7 like she is talking to someone in real & she does all household chores but always she is not mentally present with us
She suffered miscarriage at 2002 after that I was born in 2004 I have 2 younger siblings but my mom thinks her first child is still alive & someone stolen him but unfortunately that's not true & also my relatives mistreated her a lot when we were young so i think she is traumatized because of all this I don't know what should I do
