What is Senior Citizen Counselling in India and Need for Senior Citizen Counselling
The most common psychiatric disorder among the elderly is severe cognitive impairment or dementia.
Occasional forgetfulness is normal; however, persistent cognitive or memory loss can be potentially serious.
The same goes for extreme anxiety or long-term depression.
Anxiety disorders often go along with depression. They include a range of issues, from hoarding syndrome and obsessive-compulsive disorder to phobias and post-traumatic stress disorder.
It is really important to look after Senior citizens’ mental health at an early stage before the situation get worsen.

Geriatric Therapy
Geriatrics is “a branch of medicine that deals with the problems and diseases of old age and the medical care and treatment of aging” (Geriatric, n.d.) Geriatric mental health therapy is focused on the psychological and emotional needs of individuals over the age of 60.
-
Interpersonal Therapy (IPT)
This therapeutic approach is a short-term, structured process in which the practitioner and client work on identifying the client’s underlying problems and developing effective coping strategies.
-
Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Therapy CBT is based on the assumption that “emotional disorders are maintained by cognitive factors, and that psychological treatment leads to changes in these factors through cognitive and behavioural techniques”. This approach addresses both behavioural and cognitive influences on an individual’s emotions in a particular situation.
-
Occupational Therapy (OT)
Occupational Therapy (OT) is an approach that involves “the use of purposeful activity or intervention designed to achieve functional outcomes which promote health, prevent injury or disability and which develop, improve, sustain or restore the highest possible level of independence” (Punwar & Peloquin, 2000, p. 5)
-
Exercise training
Staying physically active is essential for older populations, as it fosters emotional wellbeing, physical health, and longevity. Exercise training is also important for preventing injury.
-
Animal-Assisted Therapy
Pets have an amazing way of calming anxiety and promoting compassion and tenderness. Many older people enjoy cats, dogs and other pets without realizing the many ways in which their non-human pals enhance emotional wellbeing. This idea is borne out in the substantive research.
-
Music Therapy (MT)
A person need not possess any musical talent to enjoy the benefits of music.
-
Group Therapy
Group therapy may also help to reduce social isolation. The limited research available suggests that group therapy is a good option for older people with depression
-
Laughter Therapy
Laughter is the best medicine.
