Deaths of despair, driven by drugs, alcohol, or suicide, disproportionately affect men, suggesting a deeper societal issue related to masculinity and its evolving definition.
In 2021, psychologist Adam Stanaland’s research revealed that young men provoked with messages about masculinity could exhibit aggressive responses, indicating a fragile sense of identity.
