Going thru the headlines of the newspaper today, I stuck at a British survey regarding the better life of women after their fifties, which has been endorsed by about the 92% of them.
The question neither meant to create a schism between men and women nor is it a question about how we look. It's about how we feel.
Dr. Susan Nolen-H in the Psychology Today, says the answer could be ‘yes’ as their lives get better with age. Rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide in women go down, as we grow older, and contributes that to the natural strengths women possess -- coping skills, empathy, ability to listen, patience -- which help us to tackle new problems and situations that arise as we age, and also give us the courage to pursue new paths.
Further women's full complement of strength gives them the mindset to celebrate older age as a time of joy, love, and fulfillment for all they have worked for and grown to be over their lifetimes.
According to one more study conducted recently says “it seems that women over 50 are often better equipped to handle life's increasingly complicated challenges, than men”
To face the adversities that come with aging, the men showed less inclination to use these important coping skills compared to the women. In other words, older women are more likely than older men to tap their mental, emotional and relational strengths to deal with adversity, which in turn left them less vulnerable to depression and anxiety in the phase of difficulty
Is it so?
