Retirement is a normal phenomenon which is not a crisis for most people. However, those who have previously had difficulty coping with major life events may be expected to experience difficulties at this time of life. Some will experience mild symptoms of anxiety, as part of an adjustment reaction to late life. A minority will suffer a significant depressive reaction. In most of these cases, however, other significant life events and factors will have triggered breakdown. In the milder cases psychotherapy is the main treatment of choice, either individually or conjointly with the spouse. Antidepressant drugs and other physical treatments may have a part to play in some cases.
退休是一种正常现象，对大多数人来说并不是危机。然而，那些以前在应对重大生活事件方面有困难的人，在这个生命阶段可能会遇到困难。有些人会出现轻度焦虑症状，这是对晚年生活进行调整反应的一部分。少数人会患上严重的抑郁反应。然而，在大多数情况下，其他重大生活事件和因素会引发崩溃。在较轻的情况下，心理治疗是主要的治疗选择，可以单独进行，也可以与配偶一起进行。在某些情况下，抗抑郁药和其他物理治疗可能会有一定的作用。
