Depression, Unhappiness, Sadness -- January 11, 2024

 Locator: 46518B.

Watching to a late-night show -- a re-run from decades ago -- it was mentioned in passing that after one's teenage years, one generally becomes more unhappy as the years go by, reaching the nadir at -- specifically -- age 52, or maybe it was age 53, the host stated -- so, I decide to look into this. 

The late night television host was probably 50 years old when he made the comment suggesting he was struggling with his own unhappiness/depression, and was perhaps seeking treatment. If so, the therapist may have reassured the "patient" that it was not uncommon for someone at 50 years of age to be particularly unhappy, sad, depressed.

The charts/graphs:



I am in my early 70's -- 72 to be exact, 73 later this summer -- and ... wow, look at the graph immediately above, paying particular attention to the second "up" arrow in the lower right-hand corner.
