The middle life crisis occurs for men at age of 39 and for women at age of 44. At this age, people start realizing that they are getting older and experience some physical changes which seem distressful for them.

It affects the sense of accomplishment and progress in career. Due to a midlife crisis, people start engaging in activities to cope with the reality such as wearing clothes that are fashionable, dating someone etc. Yes, I think I will also go through one because it happens with everyone in this age. It can be avoided by accepting the fact that these changes are reality and everyone have to face it one day.
