Mode of the stationary distribution

From a course on SDE's. We consider a general, stationary advection-diffusion equation.



$left(uC-DC'right)'=0$



We wish to show that stationary points are those at which $u=0$ and use this to find the mode of a stationary distribution in a Cox-Ingersoll_Ross process.



Integrating once, we get the form, if we assume $C(0)=0$.



$C'=-uC/D$



But only if we assume that IC, will it make it a stationary point. Is this the way to do it?
Furthermore, what does it have to do with the mode? I could not find a different definition from the statistical one of most frequent observation.
