After Retirement, Depression...

Thoughts from Retirees

After retirement, depression is a serious issue. MANY folks find this website simply looking for help with retirement depression alone. That's so sad.

This is supposed to be the BEST time of our lives! Isn't it?

Folks retire for a variety of reasons, sometimes thrilled to be FREE from the 9-5 grind of work every day and others were forced out due to many different reasons. Some survive retirement in a state of bliss -- others, not so much.

These are real retirees sharing their Two Cents on Depression in Retirement -- in the hopes that someones story just MIGHT help the next person who happens along to this page.
