PROBLEMS OF THE ELDERLY

PROBLEMS OF THE ELDERLY

Although we rarely come across the curious cases of Benjamin Button, however ageing is an age-old issue prevailing since time immemorial. Thus, with time the regenerative abilities become limited and we become more and more vulnerable to diseases, syndromes, and sicknesses leading to different problems.

Apart from the geriatric issues other social issues such as retirement, loneliness, senility etc. also contribute majorly to the dysfunction of mind and body. Thus, here we help people deal with such complex conditions. We make a conscious effort to reinstate a sense of pride and general well being in them. Moreover, through the science of psychology, we help them to keep moving ahead in life with optimism and purpose.
