A member asked:

Why is setting boundaries important for my health at 60?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Setting boundaries: Actually, i can't think of any reasons why 'setting boundaries' (a good health habit at any age) is uniquely appropriate to 60 year olds. Distinguishing what is my problem from what is not my problem is a real skill that dramatically reduces stress and a variety of chronic illnesses related to stress.
