As we age, we become more susceptible to loneliness and social isolation. These conditions mainly stem from the death of a loved one (spouse or friend), retirement, movement issues, and inability to provide for the family. The sad part is that people who are lonely or become socially isolated end up with a number of physical and mental health problems. These include obesity, high blood pressure, obesity, depression, anxiety, and Alzheimer’s disease.
How the Elderly Can Navigate Loneliness
Call a Friend or Relative
Calling family members or friends gives you a sense of purpose in life and elevates your mood. This can make you feel less lonely.
Host a Tea Party for the Elderly
Inviting your friends, family, or neighbors who are over 75 years create good vibes that can help you overcome stress. As a result, your mood will improve.
