Abstract
The article is about an experimental psychological study of the mental health of 152 elderly people between the ages of 55 and 92 years. To achieve this goal, a special battery of techniques was selected. The results showed that 1) the mental health status of the elderly population may be considered normal; 2) Elderly people who receive a personal income from work, play sports, have hobbies and actively pursue activities suited to their age, and participate in the public life of the country are in good mental health; 3) The mental health status of elderly people who live in the suburbs or in nursing homes and who are employed in industries that require a high level of intelligence is worse than that of other elderly people. Elderly people living with their spouses have the best mental health status. 4) A negative attitude of elderly people toward disease and their environments can adversely affect their mental health, but a harmonious attitude does not significantly affect the mental state of elderly people.
