Over the next three decades we will witness the largest increase in the number of people over  age 65 in the history of mankind. Although today there is still a common perception that aging means disease, disability, and deterioration, a growing number of older adults are functioning at a high level and contributing to the society in a major way.

The results of recent studies reveal what seems to be a paradox of aging. Despite age-associated decline in physical ability, the older individuals are the ones with the highest levels of psychological well-being. Scientists are learning that aging often brings wisdom, coping skills, and a satisfactory sex life.

Jeste, MD – Director of the Sam and Rose Stein Institute for Research on Aging, Distinguished Professor of Psychiatry and Neurosciences at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine, President-Elect of the American Psychiatric Association - is an expert on successful aging and geriatric psychiatry, and a world authority on late-onset schizophrenia.
