Mental Health Crisis

For the majority of young adults today, the transition to independence is a time of excitement and possibility. But nearly five million young people experience entry into adulthood as abrupt abandonment, a time of disconnection from school, work, and family.

Abandoned is the first-ever exploration of this tale of dead ends and broken dreams.

Coping with social changes in high school and college can be challenging, but it is essential to be open to new experiences and opportunities.

The dreaded midlife crisis doesn’t strike everyone, but it’s a common enough occurrence that everyone is familiar with the concept. If you find yourself in the middle of one, your own concern is finding your way out. There are many theories about what causes this common phenomenon in one’s older adult years. Many cultures, including Japanese and Indian, don’t seem to suffer from midlife crises. At least part of the issue seems to be influenced by culture.

Krisen oder traumatische Erlebnisse erfährt früher oder später jeder Mensch im Leben. Ob du eine Trennung überwinden musst, mit der Trauer um einen Freund oder Familienangehörigen fertig werden musst, oder emotionaler Missbrauch durch einen nahestehenden Menschen vorliegt. Was passiert ist, kann nicht ungeschehen gemacht werden. Oftmals wissen wir dies zwar und versuchen nach vorne zu schauen und die Zukunft positiv zu gestalten. Leider scheitern wir bei diesem Versuch oft und schaffen es einfach nicht, das Gedankenkarussel zu verlassen und das Grübeln zu stoppen.

Is there really such a thing as a midlife crisis - a true crisis in a person's life that happens in midlife? Yes, there is. But fortunately for most of us, it is a fairly rare event. Unlike the midlife crisis, a midlife transition is a quasi-universal reaction to the major changes that take place in midlife, mentally, physically and in relationships. This book describes the powerful, dynamic forces that underlie both the midlife crisis and midlife transition and provides, through clinical case material, a detailed description of each.
