Abstract:With the advent of China's aging society, the mental health of the elderly is receiving more and more attention. This study used CiteSpace visual scientometric software to analyze 1370 Chinese journal papers on "mental health of the elderly" included in the authoritative database China National Knowledge Infrastructure. This study analyzed and researched 1370 Chinese journal papers on "mental health of the elderly" collected in the authoritative database China National Knowledge Infrastructure using the CiteSpace visual scientometric software. It was found that Chinese research on mental health of the elderly can be divided into three notable phases: the initial period (1984-2000), the rapid growth period (2001-2010), and the fluctuating and fluctuating period (2011-2022), with research hotspots of "elderly", "mental health", "influencing factors", "social support", and "psychological care", concentrating on exploring the different influences on the mental health of older adults. The nature of research institutions is diverse, but not enough cooperation, and "urban aging" is the key to future research on the mental health of the elderly in China.
