The elderly belong to a special group and need care and care. Elderly people at different stages may have psychological problems. This psychological problem is different from a physiological disease. It belongs to human mental health problems and a series of health problems in the central control system of the brain.
What are the psychological problems of the elderly?
1. Fantasy psychology
Many elderly people have fantasy psychology, worrying that their bodies will gradually age, and some even look forward to longevity and have very strong desires, so they often fantasize about themselves, deceive themselves, and want to get some psychological comfort. If you want to help the elderly get rid of this psychological problem, listen quietly to them.
2. Depressive psychology
Many elderly people will also have depression because their hearts are very fragile and they will be afraid of the objective thing of aging. If you do not adjust in time and take care of your family, you will easily experience depression. Moreover, this depressed mentality is very stubborn, which can easily make people lose interest in life and feel very tired.
So, when the elderly are emotionally excited or prone to anger, they will be accompanied by a mentality of self-blame, inferiority or self-pity. If you want to help the elderly get rid of this psychological shadow, you must chat with the elderly frequently, listen to some of their depression states, and give correct corrections in time.
3. Fear of loneliness
Many elderly people are afraid of loneliness. The main manifestation is that they have lost their sense of survival, have a particularly negative mentality, and have a lot of dissatisfaction and complaints about others. Over time, many elderly people will be constrained by their own self-behaviors, strengthen psychological isolation, gradually distance themselves from society, and eventually form a very strange character and bear it silently. These elderly people need special care, but they are afraid of excessive expectations and keep people away from them, so they often refuse to interact with people, so they become more withdrawn and farther away from those around them.
Many elderly friends also have a very extreme mentality, because aging can bring negative emotions, and they often feel inferior and pity, and regard themselves as useless people. Another trend is that aging will demand more from oneself. They always want others to respect and admire them, but do not consider other people's social status and abilities. When this hope is not satisfied, it will aggravate the psychological extremes and will give up on oneself.
