Unable to generalize an answer to that question.

So far no age association has been found. It depends on stressors.

That’s a very very interesting question. Intermittent mild sadness can be part of every day life, but ideally not too often. I would suggest consulting a local psychiatrist with academic affiliations to discuss current mood, and whether it is appropriate to circumstance. There may be both medical and non-medical approaches that could be very very helpful!
