Psychological storm

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Dr. Who goes through the "psychological storm". (PROSE: The Phoenix in the Tardis, TV: The Tenth Planet)

Upon reaching the age of nine hundred, Dr. Who went through a strange psychological storm, which, not unlike the fabled Phoenix, rejuvinated him into a younger form. Overwhelming him, this force also seemed to give Dr. Who a new personality, although he still retained traces of his "pre-change self."
