summary

In today's materialistic society, the pace of life is very fast, depression may occur at any time at all ages. But the elderly patients are more likely to be ignored. After retirement, many elderly people's life circle suddenly becomes smaller, which is easy to cause anxiety and depression. As time goes by, depression will be induced, which will seriously affect the old people's later life. So how to actively prevent and treat senile depression is particularly important. But depression is not as terrible as you think. Let's take a look at the following.

How does senile depression get?

First, the elderly should actively treat physical diseases. Menopause and various chronic diseases are the biggest natural enemies of the physical and mental health of the middle-aged and elderly people, and also one of the causes of depression. So the treatment of their own diseases is also of great help to the treatment of depression. Because depression can be reduced by reducing physical pain.

Second, the most important point is that the elderly should learn to be open-minded and let go. Because of the age, the old and the young have different views on the same thing. Young people often think it's no big deal, but they are very sensitive and anxious in the elderly. This will aggravate depression. So we should learn to be open-minded, learn to change our thinking, and look at it from a different angle. On the other hand, we should learn to let go of children's and grandchildren's affairs. Don't take care of everything. It will be very tiring and aggrieved if we don't handle it well. It will also aggravate the disease.

Third: happiness is not given by others, but by oneself. After retirement, the elderly should never stay at home every day. They should go out of the door and come to nature. They should have more contact with others, chat and cultivate their hobbies. Walking together in the morning and evening, basking in the sun, planting flowers and grass are all good ways to relax. Making yourself happy is also the natural enemy of depression.

In addition to the efforts of the elderly to regulate their mental state and treatment, their families and children should also give more care and understanding. When you have time, spend more time with the elderly. Even if he doesn't do anything to accompany him, the old man will feel safe and secure. Listening to the old people's complaints, going out with them, looking at the flowers and grass they planted, laughing with them and eating with them are the best help for them. Because at their age, nothing is more important than their children. They will feel very happy with their children. Happiness will leave depression nowhere to live
