Excellent article. Thanks for mentioning my research and book, The Irritable Male Syndrome. I’ve found that too many relationships fall apart at mid-life due to irritability and anger. Expressed outward it can lead to rage and violence. Expressed inward it can lead to depression and suicide. The good news is that it can be treated once it is recognized. I recommend people who are concerned (men or women) take my quiz at http://www.IMSquiz.com. It will allow you to compare your level of irritability (or the man you are concerned about) with the levels expressed by over 50,000 men who have taken the quiz over the last 5 years.

To your health,
