WHAT IS IT? – MALE MENOPAUSE 5
‘All one wants from life,’ she says, ‘is a second chance. Isn’t it?’ Exactly.
Since the problem was first correctly identified it has been known by a variety of names: male-menopause, mid-life melancholia and middle-age anxiety among them. Each title attempts to encapsulate in minimum words the long, irrational and emotionally disturbing period when a man wakes to the fact he needs to assess what and who he is, and what he expects from the future. At the moment of decision some shatter their lives with change while others come face to face with a realization that they are in no position to do anything even if they knew what it was they wanted. For this latter group the realization that dreams and expectations are destined never to be fulfilled, brings traumatic reaction. Egos plummet as they reach breaking point. The crisis starts.
Today the term male-menopause is universally accepted as useful because it neatly sums up the malaise. It sums up the general upheaval in life’s continuity, a mid-life transition, rather than highlighting only one symptom. No term gives more valid reason why a man reaches this emotional crossroad with such a lust for change.
