Depression
My mom is suffering from serious deppression, she even tried to cut her hand. She feels makes up stories from faint voices she hears about how people are trying to degrade her reputation. Mostly she is left alone as I study outside my town and my father is not that much cooperative as he gets frustrated very easily and shout at her which worsens her condition even more. She is in depression

Hello.
I understand that you are worried and concerned about your mother, it must be difficult for you as well.
It is very important to deal with the situation as early as possible. Since depression is present, it is very important that your mother has a strong support system or someone with whom she can talk to or share her feelings. Depression at its extremity has led her to cut her hand and harm herself.
It is equally important to understand about the voices that you have mentioned, it could indicate something.
Next Steps
As early as possible it is important to meet a psychiatrist and understand the situation better.
Health Tips
Support system is very much required as of now. I understand that you are staying far from home, however I would encourage you to speak to her as much as you can, when you can. Or encourage your father to understand the situation better so that he could be a support to your mother.

Hi Mam
Thanks for seeking help here.
After carefully evaluation of your history, I felt she may have severe depression with psychotic symptoms or bipolar depression or psychosis. How old is she ? Let's have detail discussion about her condition. After that complete management plan can be put up.
Also mention about any medication conditions or co-morbidites or past history and treatment history.
Next Steps
Consultant immediately with your local Psychiatrist or consultant with us without a delay in view of voices and self harm behaviour.
Happy to Help you
