Abstract

The current study aims to explore psychological care and social support, which are primarily based on the principles of psychotherapy and counseling, in order to assess their importance and effectiveness in enhancing the quality of life among the elderly. For this purpose, several previous psychological studies that addressed the topic of psychological care and social support and their significance in the lives of older adults will be presented. Additionally, their findings and contributions will be reviewed, along with an analysis and discussion of the results. We have concluded that psychological care and family support play a vital role in enhancing the mental health of the elderly. They are also effective in fostering a sense of belonging, which in turn increases their acceptance of the new changes that occur at this stage of life, ultimately leading to improved quality of life and psychological well-being
