Depression & anxiety after 40
Life after 40 can hold many things at once: responsibility, uncertainty, satisfaction, disappointment and change. Depression and anxiety are personal experiences within that wider picture, rather than something that can be understood simply from someone's age or circumstances.
Work, money, caring and relationships may form part of a person's story, but there does not have to be an obvious explanation for how they feel. This topic offers space for honest perspectives on midlife and mental wellbeing, without expectations to have everything worked out or always appear to be coping.
