🌟 Why Depression Is Treatable—Even Late in Life 🌟

Transcript

00:00Many seniors believe sadness is just part of aging, but depression is not destiny, and it is treatable, even late in life.

00:08Stigma whispers, it's too late to change. But the truth is, healing is possible at any age.

00:15Treatment works because the brain can adapt, through counseling, support, or even medication when needed.

00:22Hope doesn't expire.

00:22Tip 1. Start small. A short walk, a chat with a neighbor, or even a new hobby can lift moods step by step.

00:32Tip 2. Talk openly. Sharing feelings with loved ones, or with a doctor, breaks the silence that fuels depression.

00:40Tip 3. Accept help. Therapy, medication, or support groups aren't signs of weakness, they are tools for healing.

00:48Depression may feel heavy, but it is not permanent. With care, support, and treatment, joy can return.

00:55It's never too late to feel better. Healing begins the moment we believe in the possibility of change.

01:02Hope has no age limit.
