Learn about the distinct mental health challenges faced by women and men. Discover gender differences and their impacts on Mental Health.

1. Addressing the
Gender Gap in
Mental Health

2. We often hear the gender differences and their impacts
on the life of both men and women. The impact of
inequality in education, opportunities, and financial gain
is generally discussed in society. Men and women are
socially created to have different duties and
responsibilities, status, and levels of power, and this is
reflected in differences in mental health.
There is not only a Gender Gap in Mental Health but
also in the usage in the services of the mental health
betterment. When it comes to taking expert help, males
are less likely than women to visit mental health
professionals.

Differencesin
Gender

4. In the teenage years, females are likely to
have depression and other disorders than
males at the same age. Whereas males are
more likely to have anger issues and high risk
behaviors in the adolescent years. Adolescent
girls are more prone than young boys to
exhibit symptoms that are inwardly focused.

5. In adulthood, depression and anxiety are much
more common in women than in men, although
substance use disorders and antisocial conduct
are more common in males. Due to genetic and
biological factors, women also tend to
experience depression and anxiety disorders
more frequently. Adulthood is a tough time
regardless of gender but men are likely to fall
on the side of isolation due to society
expectation and constant rejection.
Adulthood

6. Women in general have a higher chance of getting mood swings
than men. Studies have revealed a connection between mood
swings and hormonal changes that occur during the menstrual
cycle. Prenatal and postnatal depression risk increases as a result
of the interaction of psychological and hormonal variables.
Reproductive health problems can also cause severe
psychological distress and difficulties in women. Hysterectomy
and infertility are associated with a higher incidence of
emotional and neurotic disorders in women.

7. The general reason why men and women avoid seeking professional
help is the poor infrastructure of mental health care and the stigma
around it. Men generally avoid going to a counselor about mental
health problems because it is a notion in society that only weak people
seek mental help. Women on the other hand are still not properly
introduced to mental health care in India.
When it comes to treatment, males are more likely than women to
handle mental illness on their own. Men tend to favor a quick and
simple answer if they do decide to seek expert assistance. They
therefore prefer medical care over psychotherapy more often than
women do.

8. The gender differences and the different societal expectations
from each gender tend to put a strain on the mental health of
men and women. Whether it is the impact of inequality or not
but both genders have their fair share of mental disorders. The
disorders may differ in men and women but it’s important to
seek professional help as soon as possible.
