Depression

Depression and How it Affects Baby Boomers

Depression among Baby Boomers is a critical health concern that often goes underdiagnosed and untreated. As this generation ages, understanding the nuances of depression becomes increasingly important for effective treatment and improved quality of life. Baby Boomers face unique challenges and life transitions that can trigger or exacerbate depressive symptoms, such as Retirement, the loss of loved ones, and increasing physical health issues. Addressing their Mental Health needs is not only crucial for their well-being but also for the healthcare system that supports them.

In this section of the site, we will touch upon the common form of depression, major depressive disorder, which can cause significant impairment in daily functioning and is characterized by persistent sadness and a lack of interest in previously enjoyed activities. We will look at Dysthymia (Persistent Depressive Disorder), which is a milder, but chronic, form of depression that lasts for two years or more. It often affects baby boomers, especially those who might not have addressed or recognized their depressive symptoms early on. We will also explore Bipolar Disorder, Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and depression resulting from chronic illnesses.

I believe a good practice in life is to give up the excuses because they are just plain cop-outs. Creating the life you want simply begins with a choice - you choose to eliminate the “no longer acceptables” in your life. Changing your life circumstances is that easy. You choose your desired reality instead of your current reality, and commit to doing whatever it takes in order to create it. While some people will live their entire life believing they are bound by their current circumstances, it does not have to be that way for you. There is no written law that says you have to live in fea…
