Step 1 – Counselling
The lockdown will have a drastic effect on the mental and emotional health of the senior citizens. If you feel that something is off about your aged parents then counselling is your answer. Although, you can for sure opt for online counselling if the situation requires. If not, make it a point to opt for a psychiatrist at home and get your aged parents checked and treated accordingly. This can help treat any signs of depression or emotional imbalance caused during the pandemic.
Step 2 – Medical check-up
Post the counselling session, make sure to get your aged parents thoroughly checked by a medical professional to ensure that your parents are not suffering from any kind of diseases. Also, if there are any running conditions that should be checked too. As a helping hand you can appoint a female or male nurse at home in Kolkata to assist in taking your aged parent to the doctor’s chamber. Alternatively, you can also opt for doctor visits at home if your parents are unable to move.
