Yes, I've had issues. Everyone does. Some get better, some get worse. When we grieve a loss, the hurt we feel usually gets better for most of us over time. That's an example of the better. But I suffer from anxiety, which is no secret to people who have seen my other posts, and have not been able to overcome it. That's an example of the worse. We just do the best we can and keep going.

My issues tend to get better with time. Others just seem to die off...

I found Risperadon to be a huge help with my overwhelming anxiety @MACKTEXAS
I'm shocked at how much it helped me at an incredibly small dose. Could you research it or ask your doctor? panic/anxiety is hell

Everyone has issues. Some are more obvious than others. Risperadon is an Atypical Antipsychotic and is used to treat many mental health disorders including anxiety.
I’m on a similar antipsychotic which works wonders for me. I also have clonazepam for extra anxiety flare ups.

I wish I could have access to medications that worked well for occasional anxiety and depression. When I turned 65 Kaiser's pharmacy policy had terminated my access to meds that affected the Central Nervous System, due to their "concern" of my failing. This policy is due to Kaiser's Legal department limiting their exposure to liability lawsuits, I'm quite sure.
So, I just have to rely on alcohol and **other** remedies that are not included in Kaiser's formulary.
Exactly.

I don’t know what I’d do without my prescribed meds. In fact I wonder how I functioned without them. I self medicated for 48 years and would still be self indulging in cannabis if it wasn’t for my meds. These meds allowed me to quit using. Something I needed to do due to paranoia.
I’m sorry you can’t get the prescriptions you need. Everyone should be able to get the prescriptions they need.

My Dr. prescribed Wellbutrin, and I hated it. But I know Risperidone is a different approach. I see him next month, so I've made a note to ask. Thanks for the suggestion.

My sleep is better but not where I want it to be. Leaving the job in December from a company managed by a**holes was a big step to lowering stress.

I wonder why so many folks have anxiety & depression issues. Was it always so? Do we just hear about it more these days?

Wellbutrin is sometimes prescribed to treat depression. Unfortunately some of the side effects are anxiety and insomnia. Definitely talk to your doctor again.
Good. I think that's something I take too and it can also help with sleep
Also hated and did badly on Wellbutron. Never again for that. Glad I tried it to get it out of way.

Because for way too many of us, this is an anxious, depressing world.

Well obviously. LOL But why does it seem more predominate now? Is it that people (as a whole) have fallen away from faith? Is it because evil has grown worse? Is it because with internet we hear about more bad things than before? Is it a chemical thing with the junk added to our food?

I think it could be all of what you mention, although I don't think evil has grown worse; but all the rest applies to me.

I think the issue of how the human race has unfortunately always worshipped money & those who have a lot of it has gotten worse, and mostly because of the internet as Pepper points out.

It's not just Kaiser. A close friend (with a private doctor) was taken off Ambien, much to her dismay, when she reached 65 due to the same concerns: falling.
When reading the OPs question whether issues get better or worse with time, my mind didn't go to mental health issues.
I thought of relationship issues, financial issues, political issues, difficult decisions, painful partings due to the deaths of loved ones, etc.
In my life, time has softened or completely sorted out all of the above.
