Midlife Crisis? Here is How To Survive It!

- Bhavana Choudhari

A midlife crisis is a psychological and behavioural observation that commonly occurs with individuals between the age of 40-60. “Both men and women can experience a midlife crisis, but they experience it differently. Men focus directly on their achievements and their desire to prove their success to others around them, while women tend to fixate on their physical appearance, sexual attraction and what they can do once their parenting duties have ended,” says Dr Kersi.

He adds, “We all change, over time everyone needs to be able to shift with life. What makes this process difficult for partners is that midlife crisis will often force you to deal with change outside your own natural timing of change.”

Often you are unsure how to respond and react to your spouse’s midlife crisis or what to do next in your life. It is essential for you to know how to help your spouse come out of it and become the loving person you once knew.
