Why midlife men feel lost and exhausted
Emergency physician Kenneth Ro discusses his article "Why midlife men feel unanchored and exhausted." Kenneth explains why men between 40 and 60 often visit clinics requesting hormone testing when they are actually suffering from a profound loss of identity and purpose. He distinguishes being unanchored from clinical depression and highlights how successful professionals like executives and veterans often face a silent crisis that standard medical metrics cannot measure. The conversation explores the need for physicians to look beyond biomarkers to address the existential erosion occurring behind closed doors. Medicine must evolve to help men rewrite their stories for the second half of life rather than just managing their decline. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform.
