Abstract

The article discusses the issue of middle-aged Hikikomori individuals who have withdrawn from society for extended periods. It emphasizes the need for support methods that address the unique circumstances of middle-aged Hikikomori people and presents a case study of a 43-year-old man who reconnected with society after 26 years of withdrawal. The turning point for this individual was realizing his own and his parents' aging, which motivated him to seek support.
