When the Blues Linger
Depression in retirement is common, treatable, and nothing to be ashamed of.
Retirement can trigger sadness, loss of purpose, or low motivation that goes beyond a bad day. About 7 million Americans over 65 experience depression, and many never seek help. If you have lost interest in things you used to enjoy, feel persistently tired, or notice changes in sleep and appetite that last more than two weeks, talk to your doctor. Depression is not weakness. It is a medical condition with effective treatments.
From Grace
If you have been feeling low for more than a couple of weeks, that is worth paying attention to. You deserve support, and help is available.
