MIDLIFE CRISIS Midlife crisis can also be a cause of depression in men and women in normal life. The midlife crisis was researched by psychologist Carl Jung and according to him it is a simple proof of the process of maturing. After age 38-40, people experience an emotional transition in this process. Due to this, some people wish to change the surrounding conditions of their lifestyle and manage to do it easily.

This blog is an attempt to give information and create awareness related to the treatment of  PHOBIAS .  PHOBIC patients are found in every age group. Children are also no exception. By the way, every age may have its own problem related to fears. Children are afraid of going to school in childhood, they suddenly start having stomach aches at the time of going to school. This fear persists until they settle in a new environment. After some time, when the children get attached to the school's environment, the fear residing in their mind also goes away.
