    REVIEW RELATED LITERATURE

    What is mental health in elderly? Isolation, mood and anxiety disorders, dementia, and
    psychosis are all common mental health issues among senior citizens. As a result of
    physical diseases or surgical treatments, many seniors experience sleep and behavioral
    disturbances, cognitive impairment, and confused states. Mental health is crucial for
    the elderly because it influences how we think, feel, and act in our daily lives. It
    also influences how we deal with stress, interact with others, and make decisions.
    Mental health is vital at any age, but especially as we become older. Many elderly
    people are vulnerable to mental illness. Depression is the most common mental health
    problem among the elderly. Depression, a form of mood disorder, is the most common
    mental health problem among the elderly. Personal Connections is one of the mental
    needs of the elderly. The elderly have a basic need to stay connected to family
    members, friends, and other seniors. This is psychologically advantageous since such
    interactions can reduce depression and loneliness while also improving emotional
    stability. Feeling lonely is one of the most important concern of the elderly that can
    affect the mental health of the elderly. The purpose of this study was to investigate
    the predictive role of loneliness in mental health of elderly people.

    As a result of declining mortality as well as improved health interventions population


    ageing has been worldwide the has been a sharp increase in the number of older
    person worldwide and more old people are alive now a days than at any time in
    history the proportion of the population aged and over is also growing each year.

    Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects
    how we think, feel, and act as we cope with life. It also helps determine how we
    handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is important at every
    stage of life, including as we age.

    Many older adults are at risk for mental health problems. But this does not mean
    that mental health problems are a normal part of aging. Studies show that most older
    adults feel satisfied with their lives, even though they may have more illnesses or
    physical problems.
