As they grow older, seniors' vulnerability to mental health problems caused by loneliness, a decline in cognitive functions, and memory problems increases. The most common mental health concerns are cognitive impairment, anxiety, and mood disorders like depression. Mental health issues have a negative impact on the physical wellness of the elderly. Mood disorders can also adversely affect mental, physical, and social functioning, making it difficult to treat other conditions. 
Naturally, mental health conditions tend to increase with age. However, conditions such as depression are not age-related. Such conditions and disorders can be treated, and a lot can be done to maintain healthy mental wellbeing. Good mental health is crucial as it directly affects a senior's physical health and vice versa. Premier Homecare helps older and vulnerable people by providing them companionship which helps them to live in a constant care and improving their mental health, you can check our blog on "Benefits of Homecare" by clicking here

Here are ways of enforcing positive mental health habits in seniors:
  • Regular Physical Exercising: Regular exercises improve a senior's mood and emotional health through regular exercises that boost confidence. Yoga classes, regular walks, dancing, and other forms of physical activities help prevent mental health issues. Physical exercises help manage anxiety, stress, and depression. It also helps improve general physical health.

  • Maintaining Relationships: Maintaining good relationships over time is an integral part of older adults' mental wellbeing. Keeping in touch with friends and family helps improve a senior's happiness by sharing their feelings. Providing older people with support systems helps relieve them of stress, loneliness, and isolation, which are causes of depression.

  • Volunteering: Allowing seniors to perform small acts of kindness through volunteering for worthy causes gives them a feeling of fulfillment, self-worth, and happiness.  By feeling content, volunteering helps seniors improve their emotional and mental health by remaining active, socially engaged, and creating new friendships.  It helps eliminate negative feelings as older people feel valued and needed.

  • Taking Care of a Pet: Taking care of pet animals helps make them active and socially engaged. It also improves their satisfaction and happiness by offering companionship of unconditional love. Pets are essential in lowering stress, loneliness, and improving social interaction.

  • Playing Games: Games such as cards and puzzles are fun activities for seniors that help them stay physically active and stimulate their brain.  Also, playing in a group or a club helps socialization. Games lead to satisfaction and eliminate loneliness. They also help the brain stay sharp and delay the decline in cognitive function. ​
