The pre-senior group reported the lowest levels of happiness, which reflects emotional vulnerability during transitions.<\/p>\n<p>People aged 15-29 are more at risk of stress, anxiety, depression, and suicidal tendencies due to academic pressure, fear of missing out, family violence and social expectations, it found.<\/p>\n<p>The report also identified 10 major health issues for 2025, including the social and health impacts of the proposed alcohol law amendments, dangers from e-cigarettes, confusion surrounding medical cannabis policy, and concerns over the possible legalisation of casinos.<\/p>\n<p>Its special feature explores the country&#8217;s low birth rate, due to economic and social changes, and the incentives adopted in other countries, which are still failing to raise the birth rate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"45-59 age group experiencing lowest happiness levels, says new report PUBLISHED : 7 Aug 2025 at 03:30 \u00a0&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":128012,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[210,517,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-128011","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mental-health","8":"tag-health","9":"tag-mental-health","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-unitedstates","12":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114990990294274040","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128011","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=128011"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128011\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/128012"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=128011"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=128011"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=128011"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
