Depression In Late Adults:
Throughout life you experience different stages of life. Right after going through mid-life crisis you eventually hit late adulthood. Within late adulthood, you start to ponder back on your life and reevaluate it. You start to see all the things you once wish you have done. This is a time to take that step and do the things that you weren’t able to before. Old age is defined as the age of an individual approaching or beyond the average lifespan of humans.
