Introduction
Old age, as any other phase of development, brings with it its own unique characteristics, milestones, and challenges. It is considered to be the last phase of development until death. However, if the challenges of old age are not dealt with properly, it can lead to a number of physical and psychological issues.

Explanation of Solution
Suggested response
A common existential fear that arises when a person might think about old age is the fear of aging and death. Therefore, this developmental period of life is met with a lot of fear and helplessness. However, there are certain things that one can keep in mind or adopt in their lifestyle that can lead to optimal psychological and physical functioning, even in old age. These factors are:
- Keeping a healthy routine in one's life is closely linked with a healthy body and mind in old age. Many old people, who look after their health follow a particular diet plan and engage in some form of physical activity, tend to be happier and healthier.
- Maintaining a social network or having a close circle of support proves to be helpful when a person is going through a difficult or challenging time. Also, spending time socializing (such as joining a book or hobby club) or volunteering; have positive effects on the elderly. It keeps them active and enhances their self-esteem.
- Investing time and effort in one's mental health is helpful when the person is approaching old age. When an individual is not swayed by external situations, they accept the natural process of human existence. Even if certain aspects of existence are confusing and challenging, they are able to cope with them and accept them for what they are. An attitude of gratitude and optimism is likely to enhance one's experience of life even during old age.
