Does mental issues come with being an adult?

Question

Is it like a 2 for 1 special? I don’t even have anything sad or traumatic going on in my life, and I have this depression that won’t go away no matter what I do. Therapy, exercise, eating right. 
This is a serious question. 
Asking those who are at least 33+ years old.

Answer

Life is just depressing in the first place with or without mental issues

Answer

I think it depends on how happy you are with your life and if you have accomplished most of your goals. I’m 33 and aside from a little ppd or baby blues I’ve never experienced true depression like some describe it. A different perspective is my sister in law who is about to be 33 and she’s single, lives with her parents and tells me she has really bad anxiety and depression. She’s worried about her biological clock that soon she won’t be able to have kids. also, she wants to get married etc … so I feel like it depends on the life circumstances ? Correct me if I’m wrong

Answer

I’ve had anxiety since I was a child, there are times when it’s worse and times when it’s better. I’ve had PMDD for a very long time, I think my early 20s. I’m 35 and finally got treatment for my PMDD so my mental health has been a good deal better for the last 1-2 years.

Answer

I’m 38 and have never had any true mental health issues. I’ve had a couple lulls in my overall happiness, that I would call discontent, but not depression.

Answer

I am 32 and have CPTSD, anxiety, social anxiety, adhd, ocd and depression. But Lot of it stems from my terrible childhood. My depression got really bad recentltly. Nothing in my life had changed, I just couldn't get off the couch. I was living in a daze. my therapist has talked to me about, when life becomes a little to overwhelming And your mental illness/illnesses are affecting your everyday life then maybe it's time to let your doctor intervene and get some medication to help you. ( I am very anti drug, even otc medicine) but let me tell you, I followed his advice seen my doctor and got my medication. These have been some of the easiest few weeks. Ive gotten my housework done, cook dinner again, go to the gym take care of the kids and still bartend at night. Having mental illnesses doesn't come with a cut off age. I didn't even think I was depressed because I had nothing to be depressed about in my everyday life. But my therapist and family doctor think differently. It's always okay to ask for help when it comes to mental illness!! Take care of yourself!!

Answer

I've had low moments in life due to family issues but never to a clinical state. When those times hit I spend a lot of time focusing on mindfulness, having gratitude for the good around me, and thankfully it works. I always think "so many others have it worse. Be thankful, be grateful..." 
After having my son I think I had an element of postpartum anxiety/depression, plus we moved countries so it felt isolating and made those lows a little worse. I'm starting to feel better again at 16 months post-partum.
