S1, Ep11: The Meaning of Anxiety (ft Movember).

Is anxiety in men being fundamentally misunderstood? In this episode of The Meaning of Men, Krista Fisher research fellow at Movember, unpacks how anxiety shows up differently in men—and why that often leads to it being overlooked.

Dr Krista shares groundbreaking insights from her research, revealing that men often express anxiety through physical symptoms rather than emotional distress. We also discuss how deeply ingrained ideas about masculinity can stop men from recognising when they need help, and in turn increase their symptoms.

So how do you know when it’s time to take action? And what can you do about it? This episode is packed with valuable takeaways for anyone invested in men’s mental well-being.
