Abstract

The evidence that retirement is an important cause of mental illness is largely lacking, though it may contribute a little to depression, neurosis, subjective anxiety and marital tension. The situation is complex but possibly denial is one of the worst ways of adjusting to it. Physical and mental activity, good health, adequate means, well considered accommodation, an absorbing interest, congenial company and a philosophy which encompasses mortality are among the assets and attitudes which may promote successful retirement.
