Midlife Crisis

Midlife crisis describes a period when identity, achievement, aging, relationships, health, career, and mortality become emotionally urgent. It may involve regret, restlessness, impulsive decisions, burnout, affairs, career change, depression, fear of decline, or a painful sense that life has not matched expectations.

This topic should help readers distinguish growth-oriented reassessment from destructive avoidance. Articles can cover life review, values, grief for unlived lives, changing roles, menopause or aging concerns, parenting transitions, and healthier ways to redesign work, love, body, and meaning.
