How to help my mom with depression if I can't even get her to talk about it?

I know my mom has depression. I've studied psychology and I see all the signs of depression in her. I feel that she even has suicidal thoughts and am afraid that she may do something rash.

Unfortunately, she is so far into her depression that even when I try to talk to her about it she just goes further into her shell. How do I go about helping her if she's not even willing to talk about it. How do I get her accept her depression so that she can go seek help.

I feel helpless every time I see her and I just want her to get better. Please if you have any ideas on how to get help for my mom I would be greatly appreciative!
