Another possibility is that your mother has depression, too. But she has never been treated for it. She muddled through and she thinks she's fine - so she expects you to do the same thing.
I didn't recognize depression in my mother. My therapist was talking to my pediatrician at one point and he said that he remembered my mother as being depressed, and me as a "sad child". I didn't have a clue until he said that.
