Mental Hygiene

According 10 Doctor s. r. Lay.
cock Of Canada, much attention
should be given TO mental hygiene,
or mental care Of the aged. These
needs are much the same for older
people as for younger ones.
First, they require affection,
They desire to be members Of q
group and not to be left lone. They
also want to be independent, and
TO make their own decisions. They
want to do things, TO create things,
to find success. and 70 have Whist
they do, receive the approval OF
others.
Many Of the difficulties Of older
people are caused by emotional
problems. Many Of those with
whom older people have lived may
have passed on, or the older per-
son may be living in a place where
he 10 separated from his former
friends. Just as young children
will 90 TO great lengths in at
tempts TO receive attention, so
cider people may DO driven TO
-a....y q IG.saGeo q themselves
-. u lave someone Lo..ce them.
These actions and desire for OF
tention may make it very difficult
for the people with whom they live,
but, Of course, with careful study,
the cause can easily be found and
eliminated.
The loss of independence is one
Of the most serious losses Of the
aged. Many older persons suffer
this loss of independence because
Of the overconcern Of their chill
dren and, as q result, they may.
be kept from doing many Of the
things which they wish to do.
Young persons are apt TO forget
that they, themselves, do many
foolish things, such as staying out
later thar hey should, or eating
or drinking the wrong things or
more than is good for them. But
the elderly are often made prison
ers Of kindness and are restricted
too greatly. Those responsible for
the care Of the aged should pay as
much attention to mental care as
to physical well-beinR
