There is one big issue no one warns you about. I felt it clearly last Sunday during the Super Bowl. It is the loss of being relevant. Younger people I know kept talking about Bad Bunny. They acted like he was the greatest star alive. I stayed awake long enough to watch his halftime show. The ads promised a huge event. To me, it was just noise.

Mental health care for seniors needs to undergo a big change in 2026. As we go through February, we must rethink our health checks. Every person over 65 should see a psychiatrist once a year. This visit should be as common as a heart exam. I do not need charts or graphs to prove this point. I have spent twenty years living right next to seniors.Continue reading >>
