Listen to the neighbors said the old man suffers from depression, so it produced this idea of jumping off the building, according to the district cleaning staff said, the old man is the daughter of the old man from the old country, the old man received the city, one is to see a doctor, the second is for the elderly, the daughter is hoping to be able to accompany the old man's side at all times.

In response to this situation of the modern elderly, this is for the elderly in the end is happy or unhappy? Many people say that the elderly are very happy now, unlike in the past, in order to eat and wear warm and worry. And most of the elderly of this generation are filial sons and daughters, in their later years of life, they can nag with their peers at leisure, chatting, playing cards, square dancing, and the phenomenon of the elderly collective travel is also very common.

But many elderly people do not think so, when they are young they dedicate their lives to his family, in order to eat, wear warm, in order to children to go to school to receive an education, they labor hard every day, although the back hunching, the waist can not straighten up, but their life is more than adequate, there is a struggle. But the country is progressing too fast, technology is too advanced, this era seems to isolate many old people. Train stations, banks, major hospitals, supermarkets are now everywhere to achieve automation, the development of these technologies so that all their lives only know the face of the earth back to the sky old people are discouraged, hospitals need to make an appointment on the cell phone, the need to pay the electricity bill on the cell phone and so on, for those who can only use the old people, these advances in technology, for them is a disaster. And these changes are also quietly hitting the old people's self-esteem.

In the face of the mental health of the elderly, what we can do is to often communicate and chat with the elderly, to relieve the loneliness of the elderly, often go home to see, do not let parents too much to worry about.
