Tag: 23 years old

According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), young adults aged 18-25 have the highest prevalence of serious mental illness compared to other adult age groups. At 23, you are in a period known as 'emerging adulthood' or early young adulthood, a significant and often challenging developmental stage.

While the chronological age range of the '20s is fixed, the sub-categories are largely a matter of social convention and psychological development. So, the question of whether or not a 23-year-old is considered to be in their early 20s hinges on both cultural context and personal perception.
