The term “mid-life crisis” is used commonly to describe a stage of life occurring predominately in ones 40s and 50s where people find themselves experiencing disillusionment at the way their lives are turning out. Often it is triggered by a milestone of some sort, approaching 40 or 50, kids leaving/left home, redundancy or divorce.
In the context of a youth and beauty oriented culture, the prospect of middle and older age can be scary. Many men look and find themselves with what they thought would bring happiness (status symbols and the like) and remark with sadness that they feel like something is missing. These days the midlife crisis is seen as a normal stage of life following Yale psychologist Daniel Levinson’s theory of adult development.
