According to data from a 2006 national survey, psychological distress is highest among 17-44 year olds; it decreases for 45-64 year olds, and then increases slightly among 65-79 year olds. Adults 50 years of age and older are less likely than younger adults to exhibit serious psychological distress in the preceding year.(fig. 3, p. 3)
