What Are Common Midlife Crisis Symptoms in Women?
Women having midlife crises are more likely to experience depression, gain weight, become introspective and question their purpose than men. They are likely to question the equality of their life position, especially if they stayed home with children who have now left home; many realize they too want to work a fulfilling career. Women may question their choice of a life partner and fear they are losing value as a mate as they see signs of aging. They are less likely to spend money on toys or pursue younger men, but they are more likely to consider divorce and search for purposeful employment and equitable life partners.
