March 9, 2021,In the "Key Points of Beijing's Aging Health Work in 2021" issued by the Beijing Municipal Health Commission,For the first time, the concept of "lucky old man" was formally proposed in the form of key points。This marks the “loss of joy” of the Bet365 app download characterized by mental health problems,will be together with "disability" and "dementia",Becoming the focus of my country’s future work planning for aging health。In the context of deepening mild aging to moderate aging,Concern about the problem of amusement,It means that our country is building a society that adapts to the needs of future aging、Achieving "a secure pension for the Bet365 app download"、A place of support for old age、A happy old age、A big step has been taken in the Bet365 app download care service system of "A secure old age"。

  Paying attention to the unhappy Bet365 app download is an inevitable choice for aging

Loss of happiness refers to loneliness、Empty nest、Flow、Psychological problems in the Bet365 app download caused by diseases and other reasons。Based on the experience of aging in developed countries,In the process of aging to advanced age,Society’s concern for the mental health of the Bet365 app download will gradually increase。Concern and intervention for the "loss of happiness" of the Bet365 app download,Is the necessary stage for the Bet365 app download to transform from "living longer" to "living with dignity"。Related research findings by overseas scholars,Compared to "disability" which focuses on physical health,The “displeasure” of mental health is more likely to be affected by social factors,The lower the individual’s economic and social status and social support,The greater the risk of losing happiness,This leads to social inequality in the mental health of the Bet365 app download。Relevant empirical research also found that,The "lack of joy" of the Bet365 app download often does not have an independent impact,But it interacts with the "disability" and "dementia" of the Bet365 app download,This will have a compound impact on the quality of life of the Bet365 app download。High consultation rate compared to physical health issues,The mental health of the Bet365 app download has the characteristics of low detection rate and low treatment rate。Even for patients with multiple comorbidities,Also often ignored。WHO report shows,As a group with the peak incidence of depression,The proportion of formal treatment for Bet365 app download patients with depression is less than 10%。For older women who are more likely to be widowed or single,The prevalence and severity rate of depressive symptoms are significantly higher than that of men。In addition,Due to the compound characteristics of Bet365 app download diseases,Medical staff are also paying more attention to various acute and chronic diseases of the Bet365 app download,Ignore invisible illnesses such as mental illness。

But happiness loss in old age is not irreversible or irreversible。Confirmed by relevant research,Care、Emotional support such as sympathy and instrumental support such as housework are the main influencing factors of happiness in the Bet365 app download,Support from family and community is conducive to the development of positive emotions in the Bet365 app download,Improve mental health。Similar to old age "disability" and "dementia",Not only can the mental health of the Bet365 app download be promoted through the life care of core family members,The negative impact of mental health on the quality of life of the Bet365 app download can also be delayed through early intervention and intervention by relevant institutions。By participating in sports activities、Active lifestyle such as entertainment activities,Can significantly improve the cognitive function and psychological compatibility of the Bet365 app download,Promote the improvement of the quality of life and self-esteem of the Bet365 app download,Thus improving the mental health of the Bet365 app download。

In order to better deal with the problem of amnesia in the Bet365 app download in the aging process,Developed countries through their governments、Society、The community provides various intervention and help。For example,Japan passed the "Bet365 app download Welfare Law" and "Bet365 app download Health Care Law",Identified a mental health intervention model that combines independent support for the Bet365 app download with community mutual care。On the one hand,Establishing an Bet365 app download club based on the community,Enriching the lives of the Bet365 app download through moderate exercise,Keep it connected to society。On the other hand,Encourage the Bet365 app download to participate in volunteer work,Maintain the mental health of the Bet365 app download through participation in social activities。Zairu,The UK provides regular door-to-door diagnosis and follow-up visits to the Bet365 app download,Realizing early screening and treatment of mental health in the Bet365 app download。It’s worth noting,The experience of developed countries shows that,Compared to younger and older people,Reduced self-care ability、High dependence in life、The Bet365 app download with a high proportion of living alone have more severe happiness loss。In order to deal with the problem of happiness loss in the Bet365 app download during the transition from population aging,The Bet365 app download have always been the focus of work in relevant foreign practices。

  Establishing an intervention system for the unhappy Bet365 app download

In the context of rapid aging,"Disability" compared to physical health,Our country’s understanding of the importance of “lack of joy” in mental health is still insufficient。The 2019 "Guidance on Establishing and Improving the Bet365 app download Health Service System" mentioned for the first time: "Pay attention to the mental health of the Bet365 app download,Improving the early prevention and intervention mechanism for mental disorders,For depression、Anxiety and other common mental disorders and psychological behavioral problems,Carry out mental health status assessment and follow-up management。”But the regulations promulgated and revised in the same year、Policy,Such as the "Law on the Protection of Rights and Interests of the Bet365 app download", "The National Mid- and Long-term Plan for Actively Responding to Population Aging", etc.,Not yet officially included in the mental health issues of the Bet365 app download。However,The trend of rapid aging determines that our country will face an increasingly severe phenomenon of amnesia in the Bet365 app download。The seventh census data released by the National Bureau of Statistics shows,As of the end of 2020,The country’s population aged 65 and above accounts for 13% of the total population.5%。Medium and long-term population forecast display,Until 2035,The proportion of people over 65 years old in the total population will increase to 22.67%,Reaching the level of deep aging,Among them, the Bet365 app download over 80 years old will account for 4% of the total population.99%。The Bet365 app download are at high risk for mental illnesses such as depression。Empty nest in the aging process、Events such as widowhood,It is also an important factor in the increase in the incidence of mental illness in the Bet365 app download。As the "post-60s" population gradually enters the aging population queue,And the first wave of baby boomers after the founding of New China are about to turn 70 years old,The characteristics of my country’s aging population will gradually become more prominent,The problem of happiness loss in the Bet365 app download should not be underestimated。In this context,Our country urgently needs to pay more attention to the psychological and spiritual problems of the Bet365 app download。

Facing the increasingly severe aging trend,The problem of happiness loss in the Bet365 app download will become a major social problem in our country。However,Existing studies often use the psychological problems of the Bet365 app download as intermediary variables of "dementia" and "disability",There is a lack of more systematic research on the mental health of the Bet365 app download,There is also a lack of detailed discussion on the social causes and intervention mechanisms of psychological problems in the Bet365 app download。In addition,For the Bet365 app download who are at high risk of happiness loss,Mental health problems of the Bet365 app download population over 80 years old,Insufficient discussion in academia。In terms of policy,In the future, our country will also start from the government、Community、Carry out prevention and intervention work on amnesia in the Bet365 app download at the individual level。Summarizing the experiences of developed countries,The community is the midpoint of Bet365 app download mental health intervention。Whether it’s mutual help from elders of the same age,Or the addition of a geriatric psychology clinic,They are all centered around the community。Since the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan",After nearly ten years of development,Our country has basically established a community-based Bet365 app download care service system,Community Bet365 app download care has achieved initial results。And rely on my country’s unique hierarchical medical system,Rely on community health stations,To achieve mental health consultation and referral for Bet365 app download residents,Laid a good organizational foundation。Learn from the development experience of other countries,In the future, our country should also carry out intervention work on Bet365 app download amnesia in the community。There are conditions for relying on the community,Establishing senior citizens’ clubs and other organizations to increase exercise and social support for the Bet365 app download,Encourage the Bet365 app download to participate in physical exercise。At the same time,Introducing professional social work agencies to be resident in the community,Raise mental health awareness among the Bet365 app download,Understand their mental health needs,Improve their mental health,Realize early identification of psychological behavioral problems and mental disorders in the Bet365 app download,Preventing anesthesia in the Bet365 app download and providing necessary intervention and referral recommendations。
