Suggest Remedy For Severe Mood Swings And On And Off Depression

Hi my Mother has been pretty depressed off and on for the past couple of years. Nearly two years ago, she lost her job at an advertising firm due to the economy. She found a new job as a hostess for a restaurant. She clearly is unhappy with her new job and feels a sense of worthlessness from this. Unfortunately, this also comes with major mood swings and extreme agitation over the smallest of issues. The only way to get someone help is to make them understand that they do need help. How do I get my mother to understand that she needs to seek help?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Mood swings and depression are words which are supposed to be used clinically. Here the words are denoting just irritable mood / altering mood and disappointment which resulted in general irritable feeling. These common scenarios are easy to tackle. Your mother knows how to deal with those. Just tell her that her behavior is a bit weird. Also ask her friends to tell her the same. Once she realizes that her behavior is not correct, she will correct.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
