Why Psychology Is Failing Men

Daniel de Visé, a writer for The Hill, recently discussed the United States’ crisis of masculinity. “More than 60 percent of young men are single,” he noted, “nearly twice the rate of unattached young women.” This gap, he warned, signals “a larger breakdown in the social, romantic and sexual life of the American male.” He’s right. It does. Males make up 49% of the population but 80% of suicides, according to the CDC. In the U.S., every 13.7 minutes, a man takes his own life. Young men are four times more likely than young women to commit suicide.
