I am so sorry about all the stuff that's going on with your mom. I wonder if it would be beneficial for her to speak with a rehabilitation counselor, who may have specialties in adjustment to disability. Diabetes, her mobility difficulties, and all the other stuff she's going through, is very hard to deal with, and I'm sure that is contributing to her depression as well as her refusal to eat the foods that are healthy for her. I definitely think you should look into a counselor as ECT should be the last option if it is done at all. That's not to say that ECT can't be helpful, but it's not a pretty process.
If you need anything AT ALL, please let me know.
