Lockdown can be a reason for mental illness | Know how Rising Care can help

We all must have wondered what fascinated our fathers’ after a certain age to go to the park every evening. The same person who used to refrain stepping out after his days’ work in his mid-40s and 50s is now in his 60s gushing out of the house as and when the clock strikes 5pm.

The park that seemed to be the place for the kids is now also the “gossip hub” for the aged citizens of the area.

However, the coronavirus outbreak, termed as a global pandemic by WHO (World Health Organisation) shuts the nation down, locking us all inside the confinement of our homes.

Being scared of the current scenario, where news of senior citizens massively infected and losing lives has further got our hands-tied and we have restricted outdoor movements of the aged members of the family.

Now assess the situation,

While the toddlers are busy in front of the idiot box, teenagers busy with their phones, adults working from home or spending time indulging in new activities, the senior citizens are lying down all alone.
