CBT: Cognitive behavioural therapy may help, done by a psychologist. Melatonin at 1-5 milligram can also be quite helpful.

Elderly Health: Consult with your doctor to rule out any medical issues. Take daily walks, even if it is for short distances, make sure your nutrition is healthy, focusing on a plant based diet. Confide in those close to you about your concerns, don't keep your troubles to yourself. If your still troubled consult a mental health professional who specializes in geriatric care. Best wishes.
