Brief Answer:
Hi dear

Detailed Answer:
Hi


I admire you for positive outlook.

Midlife crisis can affect any individual.
It can lead to breakdown of moral and confidence.

Due to unbearable stress it produce so much worries and anxiety.
when individual can not cope up, it will lead to depression.

It can define by change in mood and intrest.
Irritability on minor issues and sleep disturbance.
Watching porn may be a part of finding pleasure in his emotional breakdown.

As a wife your role is to give psychological support to him. Try to increase his confidence.

If he realy has depression then it would better to seek treatment as early as posible.

Please do not be suspicious on him that he may be has affair without any other details.
So psychological and social support is must.

I prefer medicines like SSRI and anxiolytic in this kind of patients. But it is necessary to go for evaluation.

Consult psychiatrist and he will assist further.

This is very sensitive issue and it can have bad effect on your relationship. So try to understand and get help.

Still if you have a query then feel free to ask.
Thank you.
Take care.
