Midlife America’s Hidden Crisis

from Science News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Midlife America is facing a crisis unlike any before — loneliness, depression, and declining memory are surging among those born in the 60s and 70s, while other developed nations see midlife well-being improve. Why? The U.S. lags behind Europe in family support, healthcare affordability, and economic stability, leaving Americans juggling careers, kids, aging parents, and crushing debt. With less wealth, more stress, and less social cohesion, even higher education isn’t shielding middle-aged Americans from these trends. Experts warn that without major policy shifts, the crisis will deepen — and it’s not just personal, it’s systemic. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
