Zhengzhou Depression: A Beautiful Environment Helps Improve Depression
Psychologists say that many elderly people come to live in an unfamiliar city from their hometown because of their grandchildren or other reasons. Coming to a new city, many elderly people will feel uncomfortable, thus showing depression, anxiety, depression and so on. It can even develop into senile depression. The reason is that in addition to the familiar reasons such as not having familiar friends and breaking away from the original life circle, the lack of the natural environment of the residence is also a very important factor.
In fact, many elderly people who come to unfamiliar cities usually live in old houses with courtyards in their hometowns. Even if they live in a building in their hometown, they often go out for walks and are very familiar with the surrounding environment, so the elderly have more opportunities to get in touch with nature. When they come to a new city and live in high-rise buildings, first of all, the room space is small. Secondly, due to unfamiliarity with the surrounding environment, in order to avoid getting lost and reduce the burden on children, the elderly tend to go out less often. The most is to wander around the community and the surrounding area, and the opportunities to contact nature are also reduced, so you will feel depressed and depressed. Doctors pointed out that this kind of geriatric depression caused by environmental changes is very common in the elderly. Therefore, when the elderly come to an unfamiliar city or environment, such as relocating or moving, family members should pay more attention to the emotional problems of the elderly to prevent depression.
The natural environment can help relieve depression.
The doctor pointed out that providing the elderly with an environment similar to his familiar environment can effectively prevent depression, and children can start with the housing and the surrounding environment.
Choosing a spacious room for the elderly, coming to a new city, and living with their children, in addition to the psychological pressure brought by living with their daughter-in-law or son-in-law, the reduction of living area will also make the elderly feel depressed. Therefore, to prevent depression in the elderly, let the elderly live more spaciously.
Yu Donghui pointed out that the beautiful natural environment can help the elderly to relieve depression and adapt to the new environment as soon as possible. When choosing a place to live, children may wish to choose a community with better natural scenery and more green space, or a community close to parks. When the elderly come to a new city, they should first familiarize themselves with the surrounding environment, plan their own walking routes, and take them to a nearby park for a walk, which can help them prevent depression.
Take the elderly for a walk in the countryside on weekends. If the objective conditions are limited, it is impossible to provide a spacious living environment for the elderly, or the surrounding scenery of the residence is poor, and there is no park within walking distance. Children may wish to take the elderly out for a walk on weekends, such as going to suburbs with better natural scenery, or climbing mountains, so that the elderly can get in touch with the beautiful natural environment as much as possible and reduce negative emotions. On the other hand, the company of children is also an effective way to help the elderly relieve depression.
