It depends on the illness. At pretty much any stage in your life, there is some set of mental illnesses to which you are at highest risk of developing. Overall, the late teens and early 20s might be the riskiest period. Personally, I don't think you should worry about this very much unless you have a family history of some specific problem. Otherwise, all I'd assume you're at risk for is hypochondria!
Schizophrenia, "age of onset ranges from late teens to mid-thirties, and there are gender differences: For men, the age of onset is early to mid-twenties. Women tend to have an age of onset in the late twenties."
Bipolar disorder (aka "manic depression"): One study suggests that there are three different forms, one that is most likely to emerge in your teens, another in your twenties, and another in your 40s. I believe that the late onset version may be much less common then the others, but am not at all certain about that.

It depends on which type of mental illness. Schizophrenia usually develops in the early 20s.

I don't think age matters that much. I think you can be vulnerable at any age

It can happen at any age and most of it is fake. People that act crazy are still just acting.
