Hello
Welcome to HCM.
The description which you have given of your mother's problems suggest that she suffers from a depressive disorder.
There are medications like paroxetine which are helpful in such cases. But these are to be taken under psychiatrist's supervision.
Also she can practice relaxation exercises like deep breathing and meditation.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks.
