Age CrisisAn
age crisis is a period peculiar to each stage of life, which is necessary for the transition to a new level of mental functioning. It is a certain upgrade or improvement of the psychic mechanisms.
An age crisis, unlike a personal crisis, comes into everyone's life. One can either overcome an age crisis, i.e. become a better person, or end up defeated, and this failure will immediately or afterwards affect the person's behavior.
For example, a midlife crisis (
35-45 years old) is a
reassessment of life: of the rationality of the choices made ("existential crisis"). During this period, a person has to solve the issue of self-expression, to accept him or herself and to realize his professional potential
(what have I already achieved, and what's to be done next?).Have you already experienced a midlife crisis?
