Why are my fingernails fragile?

Within the last month, my fingernails have started to tear and chip easily.
My health is good apart from some chronic conditions. I have hypothyroid disease and take some medicine to alleviate it. (I have been on the same dosage of this medicine for decades.) I am also bipolar and take four different medications for that. (I’ve had no recent changes in these medications.)
It’s very annoying. I have to keep them closely trimmed, or they tear.
Does anyone have experience with this? Is it simply a sign of aging (I just turned 50.)?
