A statistic I read was six million people over the age of 65 are depressed.
Even though The Villages is a fabulous, active retirement community, the fact remains that old age beings aches and pains and possibly surgeries. And often the loss of loved ones.
We can move forward courageously, but some of us may need Meds to even out our moods.
No shame in that, depression is an illness.
