How does ageism affect self-esteem?

As people age, they face many challenges. Some seniors feel they’re a burden to others and not valuable. It may cause isolation and depression, which results in low self-esteem. Some seniors lose their self-esteem because of the social idea that they are too old to do certain activities. Some elderly adults lose their self-esteem due to mental health problems. In my opinion, education, income, and employment status all have the same effect on self-esteem, especially as people age.
