What's the average age of us HA sufferers?

i'm 37 it started at age 6 (bad things happened) and spiralled this year.

Interesting results....Seem like HA or Anxiety in general starts in the early 20s and perhaps peaks in the 30s.....I'm hoping my 40s will be calmer!!

In my own view, it seems very very common in young people these days, myself i am 17, but i know it starts at that sort of age from what i read up.

But again, my mum is the worst worrier and ill woman i know, and she is 40+, it seems to be a mixture but more common young or older.

I have often wondered the same thing- like how did I get through 33 years of my life without a care in the world and then boom like someone flipped the switch. I also think its because something triggered the thought of mortality and for us women something is going on with our hormones.

Well i went through 16 years, nothing, and now i feel like bam, depression, anxiety the lot. It is really mysterious how all of a sudden your world comes to a sense of death, fear and more.
