It's normal to get depressed and anxious as a person ages because aging and the thought of getting old and unable to care for yourself can be scary and depressing.

Seeing a therapist about the depression and anxiousness of getting older and aging can help you relieve some of that depression.

Not everyone gets depressed or anxious about aging but it's very normal for someone to become anxious or depressed about aging.
