Understanding Male Type Anxiety

Male type anxiety is characterized by low perceived control and physical symptoms, leading men to feel surrounded by unfixable problems and a lack of control over life events. Research indicates that the construct of anxiety is gendered, with men experiencing anxiety differently than women due to societal influences and biological factors like estrogen levels, which make men less emotionally aware. The perception of low control due to male type anxiety leads to the creation of unsolvable situations, impacting men's mental health and life outcomes.
