Abstract in brief

  • Men with depression initially experience barriers to helpseeking due to traditional masculine norms, but attitudes tend to shift positively after engaging with mental health services.
  • The study highlights the importance of men-only support groups in improving self-esteem and encouraging open discussions about mental health, which can lead to better service use.
  • To better support men, interventions should focus on reducing stigma related to masculinity, involve peer support, and train healthcare professionals to understand how masculine norms influence mental health behaviors.]
