What is the discomfort in the elderly?

In life, we often hear some elderly people complain that they are always uncomfortable with this and that, seeking treatment everywhere, taking many kinds of drugs that are ineffective, and suffering exceptionally for this reason. When we ask the patients carefully, we will find a common feature, that is, although they have many physical discomfort, but various examinations are basically normal, even if there are abnormalities, there is no major problem, and somatic discomfort does not match. These elderly people’s physical discomfort, in fact, they have no physical problems, their discomfort is only a physical manifestation of psychological problems, that is, they suffer from psychological diseases. Analysis: There are two kinds of clinical problems most commonly seen in elderly people: first, they suffer from “depression”, they mostly have dizziness, heavy head, headache, hair wood, panic, palpitations, gastrointestinal discomfort, weakness and other physical discomfort, but these patients will also have insomnia, low mood, upset, anxiety, decreased interest, reduced speech and movement, pessimism and negativity, However, these patients will also have insomnia, depressed mood, anxiety, anxiety, decreased interest, decreased speech and movement, pessimism and negativity, wanting to die, memory loss, thinking too much, decreased appetite, etc. These patients’ somatic discomfort is not effective when taking the corresponding drugs for somatic treatment, and there is no major problem in the examination, their somatic discomfort is actually a manifestation of depression; the other is: “somatoform disorder”, this These patients can be accompanied by anxiety and depression, insomnia, etc. They will go around for examination and treatment, although the examination is normal and they have taken numerous kinds of drugs, but they can’t eliminate their somatic discomfort, so they seek treatment everywhere, spend a lot of money and delay the Treatment. After understanding the above clinical manifestations of mental illness, we will understand that many elderly people’s “body discomfort” is not really a physical illness. As we get older, there are indeed many physical diseases that can occur, coupled with the psychological role of fear of disease in the elderly, so that they will make excessive worry about some physical discomfort, thus further deepening the discomfort, so that some introverted, meticulous, sensitive and other personalities of the elderly may have psychological problems, the elderly “special discomfort The “special discomfort” of the elderly will also appear. So understanding this, we can give the patient a correct diagnosis in the case of excluding physical diseases, so as to find the correct diagnosis and treatment means, as soon as possible, so that the patient out of the pain of “malaise”, live a happy, comfortable, happy life in old age.
