Masculinity and Men's Mental Health
How are men and women different from each other? How do these differences affect their health?

To some, these structural differences account for how the sexes become susceptible to certain diseases and illnesses, as well as for the dramatic differences in the longevity of men and women. However, as has been demonstrated elsewhere, health is much more complicated than biological processes. Physical health is embedded in a complex system of interactions among biological factors and psychosocial processes that have been shown to have enormous reciprocal effects.
