Nothing positive can ever come out of ageism and can leave a negative mark on seniors, and this fact stands for every social situation. Keep in mind that you can actively fight ageism by becoming knowledgeable about this hateful act.
Ageism is born of things like stereotypes, discrimination, and prejudice. It’s a social virus that manipulates people to make different choices in the same situations when encountering people of different ages. These changes depend on each person’s environment and what ideals have made their way through their lifestyle. As harmless as it might sound, it is not. Ageism directly changes the way we think and how we react. Therefore its effects are not only in our minds but can affect the world outside our minds through our actions.
One of its negative results is how it takes a toll on people’s health. For example, ageism plays a big part in the relationship between a patient and a doctor. Suppose a healthcare provider sees a patient with a mind infected with ageism. In that case, they might count a significant part of the information that the patient gives them as the exaggeration of a kid or the over-thinking of an elder, information that might have been crucial. Of course, it’s not just some kinds of ageism that are bad for our health. All of them are. Because even if the effects aren’t as prominent or instantaneously noticeable, all cases of ageism put stress on their victim, and we all know that too much pressure is not suitable for our hearts.
