Abstract

The article analyzes the main psychological, social, and biological determinants influencing mental health in old age. It highlights the natural characteristics of the aging process, changes occurring in a person’s psychophysiological capabilities, the reshaping of social roles and status, and the importance of family and community support based on scientific sources. In addition, risk factors such as depression, cognitive decline, loneliness, and social isolation among the elderly, as well as effective psychoprophylactic approaches to reducing them, are examined. The research results provide practical recommendations for psychologists, healthcare workers, and social-sector specialists working with older adults.
