Les crises de l'âme is the third studio album by French pop singer Jeanne Mas, released in 1989.

It marked a change in writing and musical style : indeed, unlike the two previous studio albums, lyrics were not written by Romano Musumarra, but by the singer herself, the songs deals with society themes and the music is also much less commercial.

It was charted from February 26, 1989, debuting at #5 before climbing to #1 where it remained for two months. It totaled three months and a half in the top ten and 36 weeks in the top 40. It was certified double gold.

Four singles were released from this album, but only "Y'a des bons" was a hit, reaching the top 20 in France.
