If we feel old, as if we are not respected and are incapable of doing anything, we quickly find ourselves on the road to depression. If we feel aged, it is easy to become the stereotype of an elderly person--self-absorbed, dissatisfied and inflexible. This is likely to make us still more depressed.
若是自己感到老了，就既無尊嚴又無能力，那必定會直奔抑鬱之路，也就是讓自己陷入人人認為老年人應有的內向、不滿、沒有彈性等形象，那麼就更加可能造成抑鬱感。
