I don't know if age has any impact on the diseases of anxiety and depression.
Many people have a genetic component or chemical component.
I don't think these can change with age other than needing less meds.

@grandmar I feel that any time you can cut back on meds without negative consequences, it’s good. No meds are without side-effects. I have managed to decrease two meds with doctors’ approval. One of the good things about my PCP is that he does not seem to easily prescribe medications. Obviously you should never decrease the dosage without checking with your doctor. In both of my cases blood tests showed the decreased dose was doing what it needed to do.
