Conducting counseling session for the elderly.
Plavio Uganda conducts counseling for the elderly because this has great impacts in their lives . Counseling can help elderly people who deal with the transitions of aging handle their emotions by fighting depression caused due to illness, loneliness, death of the spouse or family member, isolation, dependency, and anxiety.
At least one in twenty older adults have a major depressive disorder, and two to three times as many have sub-threshold depressive symptoms. Although they occur more in people who are weaker, they affect countless people in their 60s and 70s. These problems are sometimes referred to as geriatric syndromes, and they affect the health and quality of life in older adults.
Apart from being deeply distressing for the person and their family and friends, depression in older people is also associated with increased dementia risk, worse day-to-day functioning, increased contact with health care professionals, and suicide.
Geriatric counselors recognize the illness and provide proper counseling to assist them in developing positive mental health and well-being, thus restoring their self-confidence and independence. Apart from just the patients, counselors also assist family members and caretakers of the elderly parents in helping them deal with these issues.
