Why are women more likely to seek mental health treatment than men?

The aims and ideals that this article has are to investigate patterns of lay and professional
help-seeking in men and women aged 16–64 years in relation to severity of symptoms and
sociodemographic variables. It talks about the ideals of health promotion interventions to
encourage appropriate help-seeking behavior in young people in which particularly young men,
may lead to improvements in the mental health of this group of the population. This article helps
my research because it shows and provides demographics on why or why not young men receive
mental health treatment compared to young women and what could help promote the change in
adulthood.

This article is about overcoming the barrier and stigmas around mental health and how to
promote more usage for men. It also goes into the indicators in which men or women decide
whether or not to seek treatment, such as psychological distress and social norms. Not only that
but this article talks about the problems with stigmas and barriers in seeking mental health
treatment when it comes to men. This article helps my research by providing an insight into
stigmas about mental health and how it affects a man over a woman seeking mental health
treatment.

This article provides insight into seeking behaviors behind men and why they differ from women.
It talks about the indicators that help promote mental health treatment seeking and how they
would implement men to seek and receive mental health treatment. These indicators contain
things such as a strong role models to convey information, psychoeducational material to improve
mental health knowledge, assistance with recognizing and managing symptoms, active
problem-solving tasks, motivating behavior change, signposting services, and, finally, content that
built on positive male traits (e.g., responsibility and strength). The way this article helps my
research is by giving insight in how to help promote men to seek treatment. Not only that but it
also helps give insight into why men differ from women in seeking mental health treatment and
reasonings behind it.

This article talks about how men’s masculinity and social norms affect them receiving and seeking
mental health treatment. Men are supposed to be seen as self-reliant, strong, not allowed to show
emotions and contain them to themselves as well as being capable and in control. These social
norms have put a huge block into how men perceive mental health and treatment as a whole.
This article helps my research by providing background knowledge on social norms and
masculinity when it comes down to men and why or why not they seek mental health treatment.
Not only that but it also helps by showing and providing the feminine social norms as well and
how they clash with men’s social norms and thought processes.

This article gives a perspective of men of color and how seeking mental health treatment has
been for them especially while incarcerated. Not only that but it measures the likelihood of them
seeking treatment as well. It talks about the importance of indicators of previous diagnosis and
treatment seeking behaviors and how they would affect the likelihood of men of color seeking
treatment within incarceration. This article helps my research in the aspect that it helps provide an
outside indicator in why or why not men seek mental health treatment in all aspects. Not only that
but it also helps give perspective to men of color and how previous diagnosis and treatment
seeking has affected whether or not they received treatment.

symptoms indicate treatment seeking behavior or receiving actual services and how it differs
between men and women.
