Navigating the Male Menopause Middle age is a time of transition, but many men have difficulty grappling with it. Their bodies are aging, and they often feel as though their manliness is slipping away. Feeling isolated and uncertain about the future are common feelings and, perhaps not surprisingly, three times as many middle-age men as women commit suicide.
