Suggest Remedy For Depression And Urinary Incontinence In An Elderly Person

My Mom is 74 years old and she has been very depressed ever since a death occurred in our family. She has recently stopped talking to us and now she is going to the bathroom on herself. We have a neurologist appointment this week, but I am not sure what questions I need to ask. Can you help.
