• Being 'Tough' Isn't Enough: A Men's Mental Health Toolkit

  In this episode of Curiosity Theory, Dr. Dakotah Tyler and Justin Shaifer talk openly about the challenges men face when it comes to mental health. A lot of conversations about men’s mental health swing between two extremes. One says toughness is all you need. The other says toughness is the problem. The truth is more complex than that, because men are more complex than that. In this episode we explore building a real toolkit: discipline, vulnerability, purpose, movement, philosophy, and community, to meet life’s challenges with the right tool at the right time. Paper Links:Testosterone Paper:Not giving up: Testosterone promotes persistence against a stronger opponent - https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0306453021000883A Positive Affective Neuroendocrinology Approach to Reward and Behavioral Dysregulation - https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4489099/Exercise and Depressions Paper:Effectiveness of physical activity interventions for improving depression, anxiety and distress: an overview of systematic reviews - https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/57/18/1203Analytical Rumination Hypothesis Paper:Testing the Analytical Rumination Hypothesis: Exploring the Longitudinal Effects of Problem Solving Analysis on Depression - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32714239/🎙 Hosted by: Dr. Dakotah Tyler (@Dr.Starkid) Justin Shaifer (@Mr.Fascinate)📺 Watch full episodes on YouTube: @CuriosityTheoryPod 📱 Follow us on Instagram & TikTok: @CuriosityTheoryPod 🎧 Available on all major podcast platforms
