Episode notes
Men in modern society lack informal social networks that were prevalent in the 17th and 18th centuries, leading to frustration, cynicism, and anger. This manifests in high rates of depression and deaths of despair among middle-aged men. The absence of outlets for sharing their emotions eventually drives men to numb their pain through medication and some resort to suicide as a means to escape the burning pressure and frustration they feel. The lack of relief mechanisms or meaningful causes to dedicate themselves to contributes to the sense of hopelessness felt by many men, who just seek an end to their pain rather than an end to life itself.
