Midlife crisis is an expression created in 1965 by Elliott Jaques to describe a form of insecurity suffered by some individuals who are going through middle age, in which they realize that the period of their youth is ending and advanced age is approaching. This crisis can be triggered by several factors related to this time of life, such as the death of parents, extramarital affairs, andropause, menopause, feeling of aging, dissatisfaction with their professional careers and children leaving home. Usually, those who go through this feel an enormous desire to change their ways of life, making exaggerated expenses with futile acquisitions, quitting their jobs or ending their marriage.
