Age Regression is a completely non-sexual coping mechanism. There are people that intentionally regress to deal with heavy stress and stuff, and there are people that involuntarily regress, too. If typing, some regressors may type more like this: "Hewwo! Is *name*, and I is *insert young age*! Is nice meets you!"
Person 1: Why is *insert person* acting so immature, like a child?
Person 2: Oh, that's because they use Age Regression, or agere, to cope with issues they are having!

Get the Age Regression mug."Age regression" and "ageplay" are the same thing.
Calling it "age regression" is just a deliberate rebrand so people can say "I'm not an ageplayer" while engaging in the exact same behavior as ageplayers. It's the same practice, same community, same interests; just with a euphemism slapped on top to make it sound involuntary, therapeutic, or "non-sexual" and therefore less stigmatized.
The community that calls it "age regression" (especially the SFW crowd, the "trauma-based" crowd, or the "it's not a kink" crowd) is doing literally the same activities as the people who openly call it ageplay: wearing diapers, using pacifiers, sipping from bottles, coloring, stuffies, caregivers, little space, rules, punishments, cuddles, head-pats; everything is identical.
