長輩情緒低落、不再熱衷原本喜歡的事,別以為只是年紀大了。台灣憂鬱症防治協會理事長李龍騰提醒,老年憂鬱症容易被誤認為正常老化,若出現情緒持續低落、失去興趣或生活習慣明顯改變等3種情況,應及早尋求專業協助。

董氏基金會與寶佳公益慈善基金會今天舉辦「青伴銀齡」記者會,並推出「拾光足跡」陪伴特展,彙整老年憂鬱防治計畫10年來累積的心理健康資源,呼籲民眾從理解、互動到實際行動,關心長者的情緒與身心狀態。

李龍騰指出,台灣已進入超高齡社會,每7人就有1人罹患不同程度的老年憂鬱症。憂鬱症在所有疾病中造成的社會經濟負擔排名第二,更是造成失能的第一名。老年憂鬱症比一般人認知的更普遍,卻也容易被忽略。許多人因不了解疾病,將憂鬱症狀當成正常老化,可能錯失早期發現、治療及恢復角色功能的機會,提醒家屬留意以下3種變化:

● 情緒持續低落。 ● 對原本有興趣的事物失去興趣。 ● 日常生活習慣出現明顯變化。

李龍騰表示,老年憂鬱症與慢性病會相互影響,照護須結合醫療、生活照顧,以及家屬與親友的支持。陪伴長者不只是關心生活起居,也要透過傾聽與互動,留意彼此的情緒。

董氏基金會董事長張博雅表示,陪伴除了照顧與付出,也能成為雙向支持的關係。「拾光足跡」陪伴特展即日起至11月15日於台北市剝皮寮歷史街區展出,設有跨世代互動體驗、影音故事及作品展示,協助民眾認識老年心理健康,學習不同世代的相處方式。

Health Network》"Lung cancer" may occur even if you don't smoke. Doctor: Be careful when burning incense at home

Statistics from the Ministry of Health and Welfare show that my country's standardized death rate from lung cancer in 2012 was 21.6 per 100,000 people, a 16.9% decrease from 100 years ago. However, lung cancer still accounted for one-fifth of all cancer deaths in 2012. Xu Peisong, chief physician of the Department of Chest Medicine at Shin Kong Hospital, emphasized that there is almost no discomfort in the early stages of lung cancer. It is recommended that high-risk groups undergo early screening through low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) and improve their living habits to reduce the risk of the disease.
