Early Forties, Have Looks Of A School Kid, Worsens Situations During Client Meetings, Depression Due To Appearance. Treatment?

I am a 42 years old male. But I look like a teenager. I hate when people ask my age. When they hear that I am 42 they just can t believe it. and they laugh at me saying you look like a high school kid. In my thirties I don t remember people making remarks on my appearance. But now in my forties practically everybody says they can t believe my age. This really bothers me. I am doing an MA program on counseling. It s going to be worse when I meet clients during my internship. I am sure they will disregard me for my appearance. Generally I am depressed because of this. Please tell me how to attain a mature look for my age either by hormonal treatment or anyother way. Thanks.

Hi,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic Public Forum

First you should be happy that you look teenager in spite of being in forties. In fact other person may feel jealous of your younger look.

But same time younger look may cause problem in professional areas. But try to look more smart and confident rather than older only. For that you can use following methods:
-Muscle building
-Coloring some of your front hairs.
-Keeping beard and mustache.

I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
Wish you Good Health.

Regards,
