And while the stereotypical solutions - a luxury sports car or an affair - may offer some folks hasty remedies, for others, entering middle age can be a challenging and difficult time unalleviated by quick fixes. It became a popular expression used to describe aging and loss, such as that experienced by middle-aged adults despondent with work, unhappy with relationships, and detached from family responsibilities. ![]() The term “midlife crisis” was originally coined in 1965 by Canadian-born psychoanalyst and social scientist Elliott Jaques.
