Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "midlife crisis" refers to a period of anxiety and emotional disturbance that some people experience during middle age, typically between the ages of 40 and 60. It is characterized by a sense of mortality, a feeling of being stuck or unfulfilled, and sometimes, attempts to recapture one's youth through impulsive behavior or drastic changes in lifestyle. The other options, such as empty-nest syndrome, climacteric, and primary ageing hypothesis, are related to aging but do not specifically refer to the midlife crisis phenomenon.
