Anxiety in Baby Boomers
Anxiety is the feeling of fear, dread or uneasiness that can occur as a reaction to stress. Numerous factors contribute to increased anxiety in Baby Boomers. Health issues such as chronic illnesses or cognitive decline can be major triggers. Additionally, Retirement brings financial worries and identity challenges, while the loss of friends or partners can lead to profound loneliness and isolation. Up to 20% of the Baby Boomer Generation suffers from anxiety disorders.
This includes Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), which is characterized by chronic anxiety, exaggerated worry, and tension, even when there is little or nothing to provoke it. Panic Disorder, which features episodes of intense fear or discomfort that peak within minutes, including heart palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, or abdominal distress. And Social Anxiety Disorder, which involves overwhelming worry and self-consciousness about everyday social situations, often centered on a fear of being judged by others or behaving in a way that might cause embarrassment.
Our experts below address many of these disorders as well as the psychological factors and social and environmental triggers that contribute significantly to the onset of anxiety among older adults
