"Pet dependence" entangles old people
pet has become a part of the retirement of many elderly people, along the roadside, riverside, park, square, dog walking, bird walking old people everywhere. After the retirement of a man at home near heroic mountain in Ji'nan, a man is at home, his son works in the field, her husband is busy with his career every day, and the puppy "Beck" has become her usual spiritual comfort. She was like caring for her children, teaching Beibei to say hello and make a bow, and take a bath in the morning and evening. The fur of the oil of the little guy is shining, taking out the spirit God, clean and clean, and the number of manners, and the people who enjoy it.
Wu Rengang, Professor of Medical Psychology Department of Peking University Health Science Center, pointed out that more and more elderly people like pets now. In particular, children are not around the empty nest elderly, lonely in their late years, they feel lonely in their hearts, and there is a passion to protect the weak, pets are often the most important spiritual pillar of their life in their later years. Pets entered the family and walked into the life of the elderly, bringing them joy. The old people feel the sense of security, value and existence in getting along with their pets, thus relieving the pressure of the elderly and the negative effects of the change of life. Elderly people with pets are higher than those without pets in terms of personal health and life satisfaction.
Beijing Normal University School of psychology has randomly selected 719 empty daughters in Beijing who do not live with their parents. The results showed that the empty nests of the pet owners were healthier both physically and mentally, and the companion animals had a direct or conditioned effect on the physical and mental health of the people.
pets can bring satisfaction to the elderly. Studies have found that 75% of pet owners say pets make them feel relaxed, satisfied with them, and the old people's affection, friendship and desire can be met with their pets. In the absence of family members, pets become the emotional support of the elderly. This helps to improve the physical and mental health of the elderly.
keeping pets makes the elderly live longer. Animal medicine and biological experts in the United States have found that the relationship between pets and their elderly owners will establish a relationship of mutual influence and mutual trust, and the elderly can enjoy a happy old age. Therefore, elderly people who have pets live happily and live longer.
keeping pets makes the elderly more regular. With pets being around, the old people will be thinking about feeding them and taking them out on time for a walk. These all urge the old man to eat on time and stick to the outdoor activities.
Pet depends on the old "new disease"
now, the aging of the population has become a major problem in the economic and social development, and the separation of the elderly and their children is also common. While cute pets bring joy to the elderly, there are also some worries that need special attention.
a lot of old people have pets because they are lonely in their late years. Many old people and pets are in the shape of a pet. What's good to have a good thing to not eat or to feed their pets. Some often kiss their pets and even allow them to go to bed at the table. There are some old people who have no words to talk with at the same time. They can talk about their pets and even prefer to be alone with their pets. They don't like to communicate with others in normal thinking. And when pets are lost or dead, many elderly people do not think of their meals and feel that life is meaningless.
Mrs. Li's old mother lost her lunch because she lost her pet dog. According to Ms. Li, her mother retired at home for 5 years. 4 years ago, she did not let her mother alone feel lonely. Ms. Li took her pet dog "Huan Huan" from her friend. From then on, joy and mother were inseparable. Recently, Huanhuan lost while playing with a stray dog. Since then, the mother has searched several streets nearby without dogs. It was not until 1 o'clock in the evening that she was forced to pull home by Ms. Li. After less than 2 hours of sleep, Mrs. Li's mother searched for a pet dog alone. In the last few days, the mother, without thinking, put all his energy on looking for joy. Not only is it crazy to paste the "heavy gold search for the dog", and it opens every one or two hours to see if the Lost Joy is back.
psychologist Li Min believes that this is a typical pet dependence symptom, a psychological disease, showing the emotional overpouring of pets. It can be judged from the following three points: first, if you leave the pet, the mood swings, the anxiety, depression, even suicidal thoughts; and two because of the cultivation of the pet. Pets affect daily life, work or study. Three, it is because pets can reduce contact with the outside world and reduce communication with people.
is rather than dependence is lonely
when talking about pet dependence, the 65 year old retired cadre Wang said that the elderly also need to have their own spiritual sustenance, and also want to find a person who can talk and talk, but the children are mostly busy with their own things and can't be around all the time. Yes, many elderly people can only transfer their desire to communicate and talk to their pets. For these elderly people, the dependence on pets is more of a loneliness than a dependency syndrome.
