“Is depression a normal part of aging?”
I noticed a lot of my older family members are depressed and all of them are pretty much seniors, 65+. Is depression a normal part of aging?

It shouldn’t be but it happens more when we age and being alone doesn’t help at all.

It does not have to be - many people who get older are very positive and energetic. It is a matter of how you address and view your trials and tribulations.
