Moments in a minor key

IT'S AN AGE THING

For the approximately 10% of middle aged adults who go through an age-related midlife crisis, the condition is most common ranging from the ages of 30-60 (a large study in the 1990s found that the average age at onset of a self-described midlife crisis was 46). Midlife crises last about 3-10 years in men and 2-5 years in women.
A midlife crisis could be caused by aging itself, or aging in combination with changes, problems, or regrets over:
* work or career
* spousal relationships
* maturation of children
* aging or death of parents
* physical changes associated with aging
Midlife crises seem to affect men and women differently. Researchers have proposed that the triggers for midlife crisis differ between men and women, with male midlife crisis more likely to be caused by work issues.
Some have hypothesized that another cause of the male midlife crisis is the imminent menopause of the female partner and end of her reproductive career.
