Gender Lines in Stress: How Pandemic Pressures Differently Impact Men and Women

Researchers studied the effects of COVID-19 pandemic stressors on mental health, revealing gender-specific responses. Anxiety levels in men increased alongside job-related worries, while in women, anxiety rose with concerns about family and friends. Support from friends and family improved the quality of life for women, but this correlation was not found in men. The study highlights the need to consider social aspects in therapeutic interventions for mental health improvement.
