Are there any number for it here in the US? 25% is pretty unsettling, IMO.

There are various estimates. The smallest run about about one in twenty. It appears that we are looking at a continuum, a spread spectrum, running from reasonable satisfaction through misery to suicide.
If long lasting depression of increasing severity over the years is a sign of bipolar disorder, as I believe, then we will be seeing a lot of bipolar disorder in coming years as Boomers age.
