Women Aging Issues for Psychology Professionals

As a professional psychologist, Dr. Nancy O’Reilly recognized the lack of research that documents women’s aging anxiety and fears.  Surprisingly, these emotions are not unique to older women but start early in adult life.  This site summarizes research statistics with 1,200+ women on aging attitudes and perceptions and offers articles, checklists and resources for professionals and patients.

For Psychology and Mental Health

Women are often embarrassed to speak about their fears, yet research has shown nearly half of 1,200 women surveyed (47%) were afraid of getting older. This fear correlates with health behaviors, emotional and cognitive responses to stimulus words, abdominal (immune) health, confidence in self-care ability, perceptions of the aging process, and more.

The WomenSpeak Project offers professional psychologists and counselors three main areas of interest.

  1. Resources here will help professionals to better understand how female clients feel
  2. They can recommend their clients visit the site to help themselves.
  3. Women mental health professionals often have the same aging issues as other women and can benefit by addressing their personal aging issues.

Encourage your clients to complete a survey and use the information on this site for comparison.

Research on Aging

Dr. Nancy O’Reilly has become a sought-after authority on women’s aging issues.  She has written several articles on the subject and speaks nationally.  The research, “Women’s Aging Benchmarks in Relation to Their Health Habits and Concerns”, was published in the American Journal of Health Behavior and was presented at a national American Psychological Association Conference.
