The Impact of Pressure: Common Psychological Disorders in Men

January 14, 2024

With the development of modern life and the constant expansion of survival and life pressure, competition in modern society is becoming increasingly fierce. The fast-paced and high-pressure lifestyle has brought about certain negative effects on men's psychology and has also caused many psychological problems for men. Among them, men's emotions can be said to be the most accurate reflection of men's psychology.



Common Psychological Signals in Men

Some say that emotions are like a mirror of the mind, a manifestation of the complex activities of the brain. In society, we always encounter various things, which also have an impact on ourselves. And these impacts are manifested in unique experiential forms, which are psychological signals of emotions.

In fact, there are many ways in which emotions are expressed, but generally speaking, traditional Chinese medicine summarizes human emotions as joy, anger, worry, thought, grief, fear, and surprise, commonly known as the "seven emotions". Traditional Chinese medicine believes that emotions are generated by the internal organs and are reactions of the internal organs to external and internal stimuli.

Generally speaking, emotional activity is a normal psychological phenomenon within a certain limit and will not affect mental health. Good emotions can promote the functions of the internal organs and enhance health to some extent. However, negative emotions are signals of mental illness and need to be discovered and adjusted in a timely manner.


Psychological Disorders in Modern Men

Due to living environment, intense competition, and life pressure, men have developed many psychological "problems". These unhealthy attitudes have become the leading causes of psychological disorders in men. These unhealthy attitudes are mainly manifested in the following forms.

1. Feelings of loss

Men have a common psychological trait, which is the desire to stand out. However, the huge gap between reality and ideals, as well as constant setbacks in life, often lead to deep feelings of loss, which can cause them to fall into a painful quagmire from which they cannot extricate themselves.



2. Poor coping skills

In modern life, with the increasing intensity of competition, men struggle in the storms of competition. Long periods of time spent in a tense competitive environment can lead to abnormal psychological tension and fluctuating emotions. Some men may appear strong on the surface but cannot eliminate their inner fragility. When facing continued overwhelming pressure, they often lose control due to poor coping skills.

3. Pessimism and repression

Many men experience low moods and even fall into a state of depression due to sudden events such as the breakdown of friendships, the loss of loved ones, or the failure of love and marriage. These setbacks and blows can make them feel low and unable to extricate themselves, leading to a downward spiral.

4. Seeking stimulation

Some men, faced with monotonous lifestyles and the deceitful nature of the business world, easily become tired and develop a desire for excitement and novelty. This can lead to irrational behaviors such as gambling away their fortune, indulging in nightlife, or resorting to alcohol and drugs in order to relieve stress and alleviate boredom.

In conclusion, men have so many psychological disorders mainly because of the pressure they face. Pressure is the disease that plagues men's mental health.
