What is the standard of mental health of the elderly?

1, the family often talks to the elderly. The old man is at home all day, with a small range of activities and is old and weak. Coupled with concern for children and yearning for old friends, his heart is often not calm. These mental distress, boredom and anxiety need to be vented and told to others. If the younger generation can find time to chat with the old people often, it will not only satisfy the psychology of the old people, but also help the family atmosphere to be harmonious. Marriage should not be a shameful intervener. 2. Children should pay more attention to the elderly. Children should do their duty to support and honor the elderly, and pay more attention when they are in other places, so that the elderly can enjoy the family happiness of their children and grandchildren around their knees and the younger generation to be caring and attentive, without feeling left out and abandoned. 3. Support widowed elderly people to remarry. No matter how good children are to the elderly, some feelings can't be replaced by children, and some emotional needs of the elderly can't be met by children. Therefore, for the widowed elderly, children should be enthusiastic to be "matchmakers" and fulfill their wishes. 4. Cultivate personal interests and get pleasure from reading, writing, painting, practicing piano, boxing, fencing, planting flowers, raising animals and other activities. All these help them get rid of the lonely circle. Even though there may be only one person engaged in these activities, once you devote yourself wholeheartedly, loneliness will quietly disappear. 5. Insist on moderate exercise every day. You must insist on physical exercise for about an hour every day. It is simple and easy to do, and the effect is good. Exercise can also improve mental health, regulate positive emotions and eliminate mental stress and loneliness. Medical psychologists point out that the most important thing in psychological adaptation is the adaptation to interpersonal relationships. Exercise has become a good form to promote the psychological adaptability of the elderly. 6. Explore countless ways to relax and entertain yourself at home and abroad. Old people are blessed with "idlers". Some people say that retirement is the beginning of a "second life". They can find their own fun without children. Fish, insects, flowers and birds, visiting relatives and friends, and enjoying yourself (traveling) are all enjoyment. Even a little addiction can do no harm. With this relaxed attitude, relying on sound and optimism, you will find it more and more interesting.
