Sofia Dussan Professor Pichardo English 201 Writing in the Disciplines October 18, 2023 Annotated Bibliography Why are women more likely to seek mental health treatment than men? Oliver, M. I., Pearson, N., Coe, N., & Gunnell, D. (2005). Help-seeking behaviour in men and women with common mental health problems: Cross-sectional study. The British Journal of Psychiatry , 186 (4), 297–301. https://doi.org/10.1192/bjp.186.4.297 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. Perlick, D. A., & Manning, L. N. (2007). Overcoming Stigma and Barriers to Mental Health Treatment. In J. E. Grant & M. N. Potenza (Eds.), Textbook of men’s mental health. (pp. 389–417). American Psychiatric Publishing, Inc. 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. Sagar-Ouriaghli, I., Godfrey, E., Bridge, L., Meade, L., & Brown, J. S. L. (2019). Improving mental health service utilization among men: A systematic review and synthesis of behavior change techniques within interventions targeting help-seeking. American Journal of Men’s Health , 13 (3). https://doi.org/10.1177/1557988319857009 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. Staiger, T., Stiawa, M., Mueller-Stierlin, A. S., Kilian, R., Beschoner, P., Gündel, H., Becker, T., Frasch, K., Panzirsch, M., Schmauß, M., & Krumm, S. (2020). Masculinity and help-seeking among men with depression: A qualitative study. Frontiers in Psychiatry , 11 . https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyt.2020.599039 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.
