How Can A Midlife Crisis Causing Character Changes Be Treated?

My wife is having a full blown mid life crisis and I need to know if she will ever come out of the other side of it. She has gone from loving and caring to cold and selfish. She has had a lot of trauma to deal with in her life and last year her dad died which is when she started to change.
