Life transitions are times when major changes occur in your life. Common examples of life transitions include:
Some transitions are positive, and others are difficult or cause severe distress. Any life transition can result in considerable emotional upheaval that requires careful management.
Life transitions involve change, which many people find hard to cope with. Transitions can also be when you reevaluate your life — what you’ve achieved so far, how well you’re reaching your goals, and what the future holds.
You might feel sad or frustrated that things haven’t turned out as you’d hoped. You may be anxious about making the right or wrong decision, such as taking on a new family or changing your career. You could be coping with grief at a loss or feel a sense of panic when you realize time is passing and you’re reaching middle age.
The process of experiencing these emotions, along with the stress of managing change, can be challenging. Some people become stuck with negative feelings and don’t know how to move forward, triggering or worsening problems like depression and anxiety.
The Clarity Psychiatry Care team’s skilled mental health professionals offer various forms of support for people going through life transitions, including:
