There isn’t a ton to say, as she likely does not want or is willing to be convinced otherwise. If you know that her view is untrue (which, it is. There are, quite literally, millions upon millions of people who live fulfilling, good lives with depression. There are also people who provide “value” to the community through employment or otherwise who do not necessarily deserve to live.), then you do not have to value it. It’s the same way you wouldn’t value a Flat Earther’s screeching about you being wrong about sphere Earth; they are beyond reason, and are not worth the energy needed to combat their views. It’s tough, because it is your mother, but motherhood does not mean you are wise or well-lived. The barrier for entry to parenthood is extremely low.
