Did You Know Divorce can Affect your Health, Especially for Men?

Jan 16, 2014


stress.jpgWhenever something emotion, such as divorce comes along, it can manifest itself in a physical way. This can be worse for men going through divorce than women, however.

According to an article published in the Journal of Men's Health, divorced men suffer a greater mental and physical toll on their health than women. This may seem odd because our society often believes that men are "supposed" to be tougher than women.

Trauma in Men More Likely, both Mentally and Physically

Unmarried and divorced men have a great mortality rate by 250% more compared to married men. Premature death in these men comes from a larger chance of stroke, heart attacks, cardiovascular disease and hypertension. All of these are caused by stress and divorced men are also more likely to develop cancer, substance abuse, the common cold and even depression.

Within the study, the findings showed that men are affected by many psychological traumas and divorce is one of them. Men also experience mental and physical health issues when going through bankruptcy or coming back from war.

The findings from the study published in the Journal of Men's Health showed many things including:

  • Divorced men are more likely to drink compared to divorced women.
  • Men that cheat have a higher risk of heart attack and premature death.
  • Men getting divorced at a younger age tend to develop more health issues than men getting divorced at an older age.

Regardless of how tough you think you are or whether you're the man or the woman, divorce will most likely affect your health in a negative way. However, if you get the help you need, after divorce, you can work through the emotional issues and maintain a healthier lifestyle. A skilled divorce attorney can recommend a therapist or support group if you’re going through divorce.
