1. Empty nest syndrome: It mostly occurs in the elderly who live alone after their children leave home as adults. This symptom belongs to an "adaptation disorder" in the classification of mental illness, which is mainly manifested as mental emptiness and idleness. Lack of care from relatives is the root cause of empty nest syndrome in the elderly. They are often in poor health, have a high prevalence rate and are inconvenient to move. Due to the lack of children's care, most of these elderly people are more likely to lead a boring life, shrink back, doubt their own existence value, often fall into a hopeless, bored and helpless state, and even lead to Alzheimer's disease in severe cases.
2. Depression: It is particularly prominent among the elderly and seriously affects the quality of life of the elderly. The older the elderly are, the higher the need for care, and the children are not around, and the most basic needs are not met, which makes it easier to form depression. In modern society, people's family concept has changed a lot, especially most young couples can't or don't want to live with their parents, and the old people's hopes of enjoying family happiness in their later years have failed, resulting in depression and other bad emotions.
