I would definitely like to hear from anybody else who knows about this subject. A very interesting question!

Yes that's true, schizophrenia usually starts in the late teens, early twenties. PTSD is another one, that can pop up due to a traumatic experience, then get better with therapy/meds. I think it depends on the mental illness and the person but there are surely some (like bipolar etc) that stay through out their lives.
