Meanings

1. An emotional period of doubt and anxiety sometimes experienced by middle-aged people who realize that their life is already half over.
   • Though we prefer the word "transition" in naming this period, our view of it owes much to his. The Mid-life Transition may be rather mild. When it involves considerable turmoil and disruption, we speak of a mid-life crisis. 1978, Daniel J. Levinson, The Seasons of a Man's Life, Ballantine Books, →ISBN, page 26:
