What to think about
As we grow older we experience an entirely new set of challenges. Our bodies may not work as well as they used to and often times we must learn to live in intermittent or even constant pain. We may begin to loose our independence and be forced to depend on our children or others to help us complete even the most basic tasks. Our golden years can be a very lonely and challenging time. Statistics indicate that depression is one of the most common illnesses that we struggle with as we get older. The National Institute of Mental Health suggests that over 80% of individuals begin to feel better after engaging in counseling with a professional.
