Abstract in brief

  • Many researchers assume that mens and womens mental health can be understood using the same concepts and tools, but this may overlook important differences.
  • Women typically show more internalizing disorders like depression and anxiety, while men show more externalizing symptoms such as violence and substance abuse, partly due to socialization and gender roles.
  • Biases in measurement and clinical assessments, along with a focus on gender differences, might hide the true extent of mental health issues among men, so researchers should specifically study mens mental health to better understand their experiences.]
