But we cannot live the afternoon of life according to the program of lifes morningfor what was great in the morning will be little at evening, and what in the morning was true will at the evening have become a lie.

What are the psychological changes of Ageing?Psychological effects can start to exhibit as early as you experience the initial visible signs of aging. Men and women become more conscious about their looks and body shape because it influences their social and professional life. This may cause mild to moderate depression, anxiety, and increased distress.
What is a common physiological change in the elderly?Your bones, joints and muscles
With age, bones tend to shrink in size and density, weakening them and making them more susceptible to fracture. You might even become a bit shorter. Muscles generally lose strength, endurance and flexibility — factors that can affect your coordination, stability and balance.
What is one of the common psychological effects of aging?There is evidence that some natural body changes associated with aging may increase a person's risk of experiencing depression. Recent studies suggest that lower concentrations of folate in the blood and nervous system may contribute to depression, mental impairment, and dementia.
What are three particular psychological problems with aging?It is estimated that 20% of people age 55 years or older experience some type of mental health concern (6). The most common conditions include anxiety, severe cognitive impairment, and mood disorders (such as depression or bipolar disorder) (6).
