Every day, ten thousand people in the U.S. turn 65 years old, and many of them decide it’s time to retire. But retirement isn’t all fun for everyone.
Retirement is the reward that most Americans aim to achieve after years of hard work. But this milestone can bring mood changes. In fact, about one-third of retirees develop symptoms of depression.
Other risk factors include living on your own, financial insecurity, being forced into retirement, and dealing with health challenges. Symptoms may include typical signs of depression like sadness or feelings of hopelessness but Subler says seniors often have non-classical symptoms, such as chronic pain, irritability, memory problems, headaches, poor sleep, or gastrointestinal issues. To manage retirement depression, first adopt a routine that includes structure and staying active.
