Much is made about the proverbial midlife crisis. It is
a time when we seriously question where we’ve been and where we’re going.
But going somewhere, anywhere, seems better than going nowhere.
Since 2014, “increased mortality among the middle-aged” has been lowering overall life expectancy within the United States.
Midlife mortality is often caused by “drug overdoses, alcohol abuse, suicides and organ system diseases.”
Stress due to hard times is an underlying part of the problem. This seems
most prevalent within “northern New England and the Ohio Valley.”
