Retired old cadres, are more likely to suffer from depression. On the one hand, when old cadres were in office, they were needed at work and had a sense of value, and when they returned home, they did not bother with household chores. After retirement, if the old cadres can’t adapt to the change of role, there is no work to do, and no experience in household chores, they will feel unwanted, and then become desperate. On the other hand, ordinary people may have many hobbies, such as calligraphy, planting flowers and playing ball games, and so on, and there are many “grounded” activities. Some old cadres are busy with their work and do not have their own hobbies and interests, and their friendship circle is relatively single, so after retirement, their social life is not rich and monotonous, which makes them prone to depression. Some elderly people suffering from depression show that they are not very active, have no interest in anything and like to be alone. At the same time, after suffering from depression, elderly people often do not say they are in a bad mood, but prefer to say that they are not feeling well. It is even more important to be alert to elderly people who reveal their thoughts of suicide.
