This is really apt about having empathy, putting yourself in an older person’s position. Also, saying ‘we’ not just ‘they’ , being inclusive, is honest. It isn’t just happening to ‘them’. We all are aging. If we’re fortunate, we’ll encounter these changes.
Thank you so much-that means a lot! I’m truly honored to be part of your RUclips experience, and it’s wonderful to hear that the videos resonate with you. Creating helpful, supportive content is my goal, so knowing that you look forward to watching makes it all worthwhile. Are there any specific topics or questions you’d like to see covered in future videos? I’d love to keep making content that’s valuable for you!
@@DocSnipes I don't have a specific topic in mind, however, I think if there is going to be a video on dealing with criticism and stigma which comes along with PTSD, ADHD, etc.. since not all people have empathy or considering other people's feelings and there's no way one could not run into someone like that and the truth is that in most cases there's nothing one could do to change them. Discussing tips and strategies to deal with such situation would be great. Honestly, you kinda discussed some ways in dealing with that in pervious videos, however, a separate video would be better.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for watching! I’m glad to hear you’re looking forward to more videos on aging-it’s such an important topic, and there’s so much to explore when it comes to mental health and well-being in our later years. Aging brings unique experiences and challenges, and taking care of mental health can make a meaningful difference in quality of life. If there are any specific topics on aging or mental health you’d like covered, please feel free to share. Take care, and I look forward to connecting in future videos! Is there a particular aspect of aging that you’re interested in learning more about? I’d love to create content that speaks to the questions and topics that matter most to you.
Great discussion Doc 😊😎 With age comes physical limitations which in turn can affect and effect a person’s mental health and abilities. Like people being told they can’t drive anymore, that can really bum them out, especially if they’ve driven for 50+ years. 🧐
Thank you for bringing this up-it’s such an important point! Physical limitations, like being told we can no longer drive, can deeply impact mental health and sense of independence, especially after decades of driving. Losing this freedom can lead to feelings of frustration, sadness, and even a sense of isolation, as it limits social connections and everyday activities. It’s natural to feel “bummed out” or even grieve these changes. Finding ways to stay connected and adapting to new ways of doing things can help. Supportive conversations with loved ones, exploring alternate forms of transportation, or discovering new social activities can go a long way in maintaining a sense of purpose and community. Adjusting to these changes takes time, and acknowledging the emotional impact is an important part of that process. Have you or someone you know found a creative way to stay active or connected after a similar change? Sharing those ideas can be a huge help for others facing this transition!
thanks for your reply. No special area of interest as of now. Just curious, I sent you a memoir of my life with Paula , my wife, who passed on. Your husband, chuck, emailed that my book was on your coffee table. This was 1.5 years ago about.I don't expect that you have time to read it. but curious if you took a look. she was a lot like you and that's one reason I love your videos. She was a school teacher of science. I also had enclosed a generous donation. Best regards, bill
Thank you for your comment and for watching the video. I do have the book but, sadly, have been slogging through the ones I had ahead of his in addition to running AllCEUs and DocSnipes.

The only reason why I'd open RUclips is just that I watch those videos
Wish you the best, Dr, Dawn-Elise Snipes❤️

Thank you for watching the video. I am not able to see people for individual counseling right now.
