Mental Health Care for Adults
Desiring connection with other people is normal for humanity because we are social creatures. But as we grow older, we lose communication with others due to our family, career, distance and other priorities.
Adults feel lonely and isolated even before the widespread of COVID-19, according to Saint Luke’s Health System psychologist Dr. Kadie Harry. The current situation is taking a toll on everyone’s mental and emotional health. Elders are more at risk of being infected by the virus, that’s why they are strictly prohibited to go out of their house unless needed. Social or physical distancing of at least 6 feet from other people also prevents them from socializing.
Online classes, jobs and businesses make us occupied; we tend to forget interacting with other members of the family, specially adults. There are many factors why older people find digital devices hard to use that limits them from taking part of virtual interactions. Supporting mental health is highly needed in coping with this pandemic. Though we shouldn’t give them false assurance, it is better to continuously cater them good news and optimism. Patience is essential in guiding them to adjust to new normal. Let’s think of ways on how to make them busy but not necessarily exhausted!
We can give elders time-killing indoor activities like brain-teaser games to improve their memory, or do easy workout routines together to relieve stress, improve muscle function and blood circulation. According to medical authorities, frequent urination is normal as a result of age-related changes in the bladder muscle. But for everyone’s information, we can avoid tiring bathroom trips.
