A time of mental breakdown that occurs during a person's twenties, often a result of an inability to function
outside of
college/university or other types of structured environments. Feeling alone and/or
useless also tends to be a symptom of the mid-twenties breakdown.
Soon after Paul finished grad school at
age 24 he found that he couldn't get a job and had a mid-twenties
breakdown and moved back to his
parents' basement where he spent most of his days playing Xbox and smoking weed.
