Elderly people are highly vulnerable to developing mental
health problems owing to the factors of:
-
Decaying and aging of brain

Psychiatric disorder

Owing to the ageing brain and body the elderly very often has to
confront health issues eventually leading to restrictions in health habits
causing them to experience anger, frustration, mood swings and sense of loss of control.
Prevalence of psychiatric disorders like mood disorders, anxiety disorders, alcohol abuse,
Schizophrenia and delusional disorders are also not uncommon. Intellectual and cognitive
decline like difficulty to remember things or to alculate day to day expenditure may lead to
a sense of diminished self worth.
Breakdown of support system in terms of death of spouse or close friends or children leaving homes
for career persuasion causes the geriatric population to frequently feel being left out, socially isolated,
uncared for and neglected leading to feelings of loneliness, despair, hopelessness. Losing the sense of
