The concept of middle age is completely relative. We can call this time the afternoon of life. It's a time when you've come a long way in life, with little time left. But our experiences in this afternoon of life are somewhat different from the ones we left behind. Each person's response to this difference is different. But whatever the reaction, this time comes in everyone's life and whether they understand it or not, everyone arranges themselves at this time like themselves.
At present, middle age crisis or midlife crisis is a hot topic in psychology. The concept of a midlife crisis is not very old. In 1975, Canadian psychologist Elliott Jacques first used the term "midlife crisis". Simply put, midlife crisis is some of the physical changes caused by some of the inevitable physiological changes in middle age and some of the psychological changes that result. It is most common in people between the ages of 45 and 50, and the symptoms of aging are more pronounced.
Let's take a look at the symptoms of this period-
Sudden increase or decrease in body weight
Feeling that indifference surrounds you
Losing enthusiasm for life
Decreased interest in sex
Feeling we have 'Run out of gas' emotionally
Exhaustion etc.
Why is that in middle age?
First of all, the sex hormones in the body are reduced at this time, so its expression is a little different than any other time in life. Loss of interest in sex and fatigue in the body. Also, during this time loved ones tend to get lost from life one by one. I feel lonely even among many. As children get older, they don't have time to take care of themselves. This is the time when the diseases of aging gradually appear and you know you have to spend the rest of your life with these diseases. As a result, they lose interest in life. Also at this time everyone's career became more or less stable. This time is more difficult for many as there is no opportunity to change career even if they want to. The same thing has to be done every day as there is no upayantar despite reluctance. Many people are overwhelmed by the feeling of failure to do what they wanted to do in life.

Stay away from extramarital or unacceptable relationships
