It seems dubious to me that's even possible to know but if the median age of the population goes up, as it now has with a declining birth rate, it shouldn't be that surprising.
People that aren't parents have lots of time to navel gaze and start pitying themselves.

@SteelHands So what kind of advice would you give to someone that wants to feel better mentally

@tina14111 That's impossible to say. Some believe in not only solutions but even instant solutions. Life has ups and downs and belief about its unchanging in one as well and it is part of the issue.
A run of luck is one thing but a rigged game does twice the damage. When you know you owe the other players you fear having less. Plus you've had someone else's wine and roses. Nothings as sad as someone that's never had a tough day in their life but thinks they did.
On the other hand there are the true sad sacks that trip over happiness almost every day but are so convinced they got gyped in life they are blind to the treasures strewn in their path. It's not easy to count blessings you don't want to admit are there.
So really there isn't any advice I can give. Srry.
