Gender and Mental Health

Gender and mental health are interconnected in various ways. Social, cultural, and biological factors affect how individuals experience mental health issues. For instance, women may be more likely to experience depression and anxiety due to societal pressures, while men may face stigma in expressing vulnerability, impacting their mental well-being. Additionally, gender identity and sexual orientation can influence mental health experiences and access to care. Understanding these factors is crucial for providing effective support and treatment, ensuring that mental health services are sensitive to the unique challenges faced by different genders.
