Middle age is a truly depressing time, says study
New research from British and U.S. experts concluded that middle age can be very depressing to much of the world's population. 80 countries and over two million people were involved in the research, which showed that depression is very common for both women and men in their 40s.The "U-curve" was explained by the researchers like this: we are happy when born and into our career years, are depressed and unhappy in those middle years, then return to a happy state in those golden years.
Although it's hardly possible, the ride of life can be enjoyed at every age with the right frame of mind. But, if you're in your 40s, what makes this the most unhappy time of your life? A sagging waistline and a possible career crisis? Sound off in comments below.
Who's happier: 40-year-olds or 70-year-olds?
According to recent findings, more people in their 70s claim to be happy with their lives than those in their 40s or 60s. On average, 89% of those in their 70s said they were happy, compared to 87% of those in their 60s and 78% of those in their 40s. Why do you think this is? If I had to guess, I'd say that retirement plays a big role -- people in their 70s finally have a chance to slow down and enjoy life after years of hard work. But I'm sure there's more to than that. What do you think?
