Current perspectives on research on ageism

According to the report, ageism is observed across many institutions and sectors of society, such as in the workplace, media, health care, and the legal system. [...]due to fear of infection and ageism discrimination, older adults were advised or decided to stay at home which contributed to increased isolation, loneliness, and feelings of hopelessness or worthlessness, which, in turn, may increase the rates of depression and suicidal ideation (Wand et al., 2020). [...]the vast majority of psychosocial interventions for suicide prevention focus on young adults.
