MORE DEPRESSING STATISTICS

New research from the University of Warwick has unveiled the science behind the mid-life crisis. An analysis of two million people in 80 countries found that depression universally hits its peak at the age of 44. "It happens to men and women, to single and married people, to rich and poor, and to those with and without children,” said Professor Andrew Oswald. The study also found that the United States was the only country that recorded a difference based on gender. In the U.S., unhappiness hits a peak at the age of 40 for women and 50 for men. (BBC)
