Anxiety and Protective Factors
Captions available
The idea
Anxiety is also less common in older than younger adults, and risk factors for late-life depression include economic hardship, loneliness, chronic illness and bereavement.
In practice
Social support, exercise, meaningful goals and adaptive reframing of change protecting older adults' mental health.
Where people slip
Low average rates do not mean older adults' mental health can be ignored; risk concentrates in identifiable groups.
