Is there really, scientifically speaking, such a thing as a Mid-Life Crisis? Often times, we rely on anecdote to construct folk-wisdom notions about psychology and development. Moreover, psychology tends to impose construction on phenomena through reification all too frequently. Like diagnosing, we may derive a diagnosis from the evidence, but we also are imposing structure on another's lived-experience. Very much like diagnosing ADHD, depression, and other disorders, we can run the risk of problematizing people who are different based on sociopolitical notions of "normal."
If Mid-Life Crises exist, are they are psychological problem or some other kind of problem?
