Compared to men, women are more worried, they get angry or tearful quickly, know why it is so? Dr. Sanjay Garg, Senior Psychologist at Fortis Hospital, Kolkata explains some of the main reasons why women are often upset and short-tempered -
1. The first important reason is that family people have more expectations from women; however, even an active woman has a limit to performing work. In routine life, monotonous work like kitchen, caring for children, husbands, and In-laws, etc also affects women's health and mood.
2. Can't even get enough sleep - Women need more sleep than men, but they often don't get enough. They have to wake up at a regular time in the morning to attend to household chores, whereas men generally make up for it by sleeping till late in the morning. On top of that if the wife is working then there is no chance to sleep even in the afternoon. It is an authentic scientific fact that a person can suffer from anxiety, stress, or depression due to lack of sleep. And in such a situation, if the husband tightens some kind of taunt or someone disturbs him, then it is natural for the wife (woman) to lose her temper.
3. Psychological causes of stress - Research conducted by Lantern, a web programming company, found that women are 11 percent more stressed and 16 percent more anxious than men. Family psychologist Amy Shoffner said in a report that the reason for the high-stress level in women is their attitude towards things or problems. Women do not move away from the person or thing that is causing them stress. They go into the depth of problems and get entangled in them again and again, which increases their stress level. Whereas men believe in 'fight or flight'. Another reason why stress is high in women is that they are perfectionists and also remember things for a long time. She does not forget anything easily and remains engrossed in her thoughts day and night. They are neither able to forgive themselves nor the person giving tension quickly. For example, if the child is late in taking the child to school, then the man will become normal after repenting for five minutes, but the woman remains in tension for at least 24 hours considering herself fault.
4. Women don't get attention - The (woman) wife wants the husband to take care of her and ask her to take care of herself. But this does not happen. Husbands are often busy with their own work or do not notice any problems of the wife, then she starts living under stress. If the husband does not pay attention to her stress, then she starts expressing her feelings openly and expresses anger. Whereas, the husband does not respond to her anger by keeping silent because his mind is hot at the moment. From a psychological point of view, this condition is called 'polarization'. Under this, the husband sticks to his thinking and the wife stick to her thinking.
5. Biological reasons also responsible- York Medical College Professor Dr. Paul J. Roche explains that hormone fluctuations are much greater in women than in men. Due to this, there is a problem of depression in them. Women are more involved in personal relationships, That's why they get frustrated and worried when there is even a slight disturbance in them. She takes care of everyone, so she also expects the same behavior, which is rarely possible.
6. More effects of sad syndrome- According to scientists, women get affected by SAD syndrome i.e. Seasonal Affective Disorder at least four times more than men. In fact, some people feel a change in mood when the weather changes. At such times, they feel depressed and energylessness and want to sleep for the maximum time, which is not possible for women. Sometimes the symptoms of this disease become very serious.
7. Things to be considered- From the psychological point of view, if it is certain that women are always under more stress, then there is a need to deal with this situation. Women should try themselves and men should also help. The biggest help that can be given to women is that men should not judge them by the yardstick of their attitude and attitude. Don't tell them 'be like me, don't take tension'.
