The Livelong Podcast
This week’s episode of the Livelong Podcast features Amanda Krisher, the Associate Director of Behavioral Health at the National Council on Aging. She joins us for a candid and clarifying conversation about one of the hardest questions that midlife and older adults face:
What’s a ‘bad day,’ and what’s a sign it’s something deeper?
We explore the science of aging and mood, habits that predict emotional resilience, how to spot depression when its symptoms overlap with aging, being angry when your body doesn’t work the way it used to, and why optimism and honest emotional expression are longevity tools.
The heavy-hitter:
Depression is not a normal part of aging. It’s not inevitable, and it’s not a thing we all have to experience.
