Family Frustrations:
Have you ever felt unlucky when you hear parents who frequently and deliberately belittle or mock your entire being? They sometimes or most of the times say words that hurt you deeply and they don’t want to hear you out about how you feel after hearing those frequent brutal negative tags and remarks thrown your way unwarranted just to upset or make you feel unwanted?

Depression in Older Adults
Depression is a common mental health condition that affects people of all ages. It is primarily characterized by feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a loss of interest in activities that were once enjoyable. Although research does not indicate an increased incidence of depression in older adults, many of the life challenges faced at this age can contribute to or exacerbate the subjective symptoms associated with this mood disorder and/or impede attempts at therapeutic intervention (Santrock, 2002; Callahan & Wolinsky, 1995).

The rubber wedding band
Cleo woke from that scary and reoccurring dream. This time it went a little further than the last two times. She sat up with a start, and as she rubbed her right hand over her face to be sure she was awake, she realized she was sweating. This confused her even more; the weather was 5 degrees, it was already winter, and the heating in her apartment was off. She programmed it to always go off at midnight. She could feel the cold, so why was she sweating? She asked herself as she got out of bed, wore her slippers, and went to her kitchen to get a glass of water. Once again, it was surprising to her that her throat was parched. She gulped down the water she poured to fill her glass in a few gulps. She did a refill and took that back to her bedroom. As she placed it on the bedside table, she checked the time. It was about a quarter past 1 am.
