My mother aged 87 and seriously visually impaired has recently been hallucinating claiming having seen male and female figures and appears depressed ?

Evaluation: Your mother may need a medical work-up to rule out any underlying medical causes of her symptoms. Even a urinary tract infection can produce confusion/hallucinations in an older adult. Once any medical reasons are ruled out, then a mental health evaluation would be an appropriate next step.
