aaahhh Jersey in Springtime--a depressed guy comes home, sees his depressed friends, does depressing things--and why is he depressed? oh, just little things like causing his mother's paralysis at age 9(boy he's a strong kid) and then much later she dies...in a bathtub....Natalie Portman cheers him up kind of....and then there's one pointless scene after another--and then..........well, nobody cares--Zach Braff took 3 years to write this script, hope its thirty years til the next one

Cool, except he's not depressed, his friends are not depressed, and even the new friend he meets is not depressed.
Could it be that you're depressed and can only see it in others?
Just so you know, when people feel disconnected, it doesn't mean depressed. When we're confused, it doesn't mean depressed. You can have several decomposating mental issues from delusions to religious issues and not be depressed.
My guess, if the mother ended her life, then she was probably suffering from depression.

Oh, and it's a shame that viewers as well as critics disagree with your opinion of the film. Based on your reasoning, may I suggest that you may be suffering from some sort of social ineptness?
