What is the standard of mental health of the elderly?

1. Full of security. A sense of security requires multi-level environmental conditions, such as social environment, natural environment, work environment and family environment. Among them, the family environment has the most important influence on the sense of security. Home is a harbor to avoid the wind and waves, and you will feel safe with home.

2. Know yourself well. It means being able to objectively analyze your own abilities and make appropriate judgments. Whether you can make an objective and correct judgment about your ability has a great influence on your mood. If you overestimate your ability and try to do things beyond your ability, you often can't get the expected results in your imagination, which will blow your spirit with failure; Low estimation of one's own ability, low self-evaluation and lack of self-confidence often lead to depression.

3. The goal in life is realistic. We should make life goals according to our own economic ability, family conditions and corresponding social environment. The formulation of life goals should not only conform to reality, but also leave room for it, and should not exceed the scope of one's own and one's family's economic ability.

4. Keep in touch with the external environment. On the one hand, you can enrich your spiritual life, on the other hand, you can adjust your behavior in time to better adapt to the environment. Keeping in touch with the external environment includes three aspects, namely, contact with nature, society and people. Old people retire at home, have too much free time and often have depression or anxiety. Today's activity centers, cultural activity stations and universities for the elderly provide conditions for the elderly to get in touch with the external environment.
