While some individuals embrace the freedom of retirement, others may see their transition out of the workplace as a blow to self-esteem and identity. Work provides structure, connections with co-workers, and a sense of purpose. Without those the person may experience anxiety or depression, as they seek to find a new sense of purpose.
