So, learning to cope with these
issue is very much important. Here we give to you 7 tips from Comfort Keepers Senior Care San Mateo to help
seniors with depressions.
●
Always be on the lookout for depressive symptoms.
Depression is different from ordinary feeling of grief or sorrow. If such
depressive instances become persistent than probably you better start seeking
help.
●
It becomes the most troubling when the senior refuses to
accept medical or therapeutic help as they might assume it will become a burden
to the family or they might just simply do not want anything they are not
feeling good about. So be on guard for the signs.
●
Try to see things from their perspective. Talk to them to
discover exactly what's bothering them. Offer humble and cordial help.
●
Talk to them in their way. Do not impose words like drugs,
therapy, care, counselling as these might frustrate them even more. Just try to
persuade that medical help actually works and might even help them to sleep
better.
●
Depression is actually an illness. So, acknowledge the
limitations that it might impose upon oneself and never force our loved seniors
beyond those known limits.
●
Always let the loved seniors do the tasks that they are capable of
doing. That will make them feel good and more independent. And that’s exactly
Interactive Caregiving from Comfort
Keepers Senior
Care San Mateo does.
●
Try to be as much involved with the medical care that our
loved seniors are getting so that you know what to do and how to help when it
may become necessary
