It occured to me when I read your post that maybe your mom feels guilty about your depression. Ok she wouldn't admit it, but deep down she might feel somewhat responsible. It is widely understood even by people who have no particular interest in the topic that problems such as depression are stemmed from childhood and our relationships with our parents, so she must have made the link. So its this unconscious guilt that is wearing her down, maybe?
