What the heck is the Dorothy Syndrome and what does it have to do with mid-life crisis? Well, it has everything to do with MLC! The Dorothy Syndrome is a phrase that I coined and is the premise for my upcoming book titled "The Dorothy Syndrome: Mid-life on the Yellow Brick Road". While coaching at another web site forum, I started using the metaphors used in one of my favorite stories and movies..."The Wizard of OZ".

Now Turning 40 Has A Reality Show

Greg's picture

What happens when someone turns 40? Pop culture would have you believe that it's a magic age of sudden insight, existential questioning, or decisions to make major changes.

Those don't often happen in real life, and they don't happen in TV Land's "The Big 4-0" either. »more»

Could my husband be going through an early mid-life crisis at age 28?

camille's picture

Hi. My husband is 28 and I am 22. We have been married for three years this coming April. It has been really hard for us ever since we got married but we have made it through. A few months ago, he broke down and said he just felt kinda depressed and like he hasn't done anything with his life. He also said he doesn't feel like he can do anything, I guess as far as hobbies and stuff. »more»
