Manxiety cases are increasing in men, know the reason, symptoms and prevention.

In metro cities and big cities, fear of work load and failure is driving men towards suicide.

Manxiety: As soon as the names of anxiety and depression are mentioned, the thought of women suffering from it comes to mind. The common belief is that women suffer more from problems like anxiety and stress. But this is not completely true. Latest reports and statistics show that the problems of stress and anxiety are increasing more rapidly in men than in women. Especially in metro cities and big cities, such problems are mostly seen among working men. In mental health, a new term has emerged for such problems related to men, ‘Manxiety’. Why are such problems increasing rapidly in men? What is the reason for these? And what should be done to resolve it? Regarding this, we talked to Dr. Siddharth Sinha, senior psychiatrist of Ranchi Institute of Neuro Psychiatry and Allied Sciences.

Manxiety: Cases increasing in men

According to Dr. Siddharth Sinha, more number of men are being seen in the cases reaching Rinpass. About 300 to 400 cases are reported every month, which are related to people suffering from anxiety and stress. A large number of them are men. In recent times, the number of this problem among men has increased very rapidly. 70 percent of the people coming here are men who come with complaints of depression. All of them are victims of manganese. Although their reasons are different, but generally speaking, the main reasons include workload, family responsibilities and not being able to face the family and financial challenges that come in life. According to latest reports, 75% of those who commit suicide are men. The suicide rate in India has increased from 6.3 per lakh in 1978 to 12.4 per lakh today. Among these, the number of men is more than that of women.

Manxiety: Mental Health Care

Workload and family responsibilities have increased to such an extent that it is important to work on awareness about mental health among men. Cases of anxiety and depression are increasing in cities. The shocking figures are that suicide cases have increased among men. Among the victims, the number of men facing problems is more than that of women. Many times men are unable to share their problems with anyone and they cross the level of stress and depression to such an extent that they give up on life.

Manxiety: social taboo

Mental health is still a taboo in the society. People are not able to talk about this. He will continue to struggle with stress and other problems, but will hesitate in discussing his problems openly with anyone. This is commonly seen especially in men. He keeps fighting his battle internally but does not share his problem with anyone. Experts believe that if people do not talk openly about mental health, then internal problems like anxiety take people to the threshold of suicide. Please share your problem. Meet a psychiatrist and explain your entire problem in detail.

Manxiety: these are the symptoms

According to Dr. Siddharth Sinha, when someone struggles with depression, many symptoms are seen.

• If you want to identify the disorder, keep in mind the living pattern of the person.
• Getting upset or nervous over small things is a major symptom.
• Such men often get drowned in worries. These concerns are about the future. Sometimes these worries are unnecessary.
• People suffering from anxiety gradually reduce their exposure to people. He starts avoiding conversations with his seniors or in most cases avoids coming in front of them.
• They get into the habit of repeating things again and again. Especially he gets immersed in the past and remembers old things and compares them with the present. Remain worried.
• They are not able to concentrate better on their work. They often fail in their work responsibilities also. The work which they used to do easily earlier also takes more time for them.
• Remain immersed in negative thinking. Often the heartbeat increases and one feels nervous.

Manxiety: main reason

• Lifestyle is no longer as easy as before. There are new challenges every day on the work front. Not getting success as per your wish gives rise to stress.
• Relationships that appear perfect from the outside are usually not necessarily perfect from the inside. Lack of better support from partner in relationships is considered as a reason for stress or anxiety.
• The fabric of the joint family has now almost disintegrated. If you break, there is no one to take care of you. In such a situation, loneliness leads to despair. This is a major cause of stress.
• Every member of the family has some expectations from men. When a prominent member of the family finds himself failing to live up to those expectations, he begins to suffer from internal stress. He sees this failure as a question on his ability or masculinity.
• Being financially strong is the first need in today’s era. People’s jobs and their lifestyle have become such that unless they become financially strong, they will not be able to meet their and their family’s needs. Financial weakness makes people mentally weak.
