Research on the Current Situation of Mental Health Management of the Elderly under the Background of Population Aging

Abstract

Nowadays, the aging of the population is intensifying. Maintaining the physical and mental health of the elderly is conducive to the steady development of the country. In reality, when the only child goes out to work, the empty nesters are left unaccompanied. Older people have no outlet for emotional release because of their narrow social circle and inability to operate high-tech electronics. In the long run, this will lead to severe psychological depression and other problems in the elderly. Therefore, we should construct a mental health service system for the elderly in the community and put the development of the elderly's mental health first. In addition, by screening the mental health of the elderly, the service team of mental health consultation and treatment institutions will be comprehensively improved, and more safeguard measures will be provided to solve the aging of the population.
