Why are men less likely to seek treatment for mental illness? (Page 3)

[Slim57]

Because it doesn't work as well for men

[Subarugirl]

Why not?

[Slim57]

I think we come to the realization that nothing is going to fix it so we either have to just deal with it or stop dealing with it

[volkmi234]

Psychologist, psyquiatrist, therapist are useless

[Subarugirl]

Then why does it work?

[volkmi234]

They don't work, look at the number of people who commit suicide

[Subarugirl]

A new study shows that a brief course of up to 10 sessions of talk therapy compared with standard treatment reduced the risk of subsequent suicide attempts by up to 50% in people treated in hospital emergency rooms for attempted suicide

@Subarugirl Have you ever seen a single research paper in your entire life?

[Subarugirl]

@OneManOnly01 I have seen plenty of research papers, though I don't see how that question is relevant.

[OneManOnly01]

@Subarugirl Then why do you always post links to sites rather than the actual research paper?

[Subarugirl]

@OneManOnly01 because the websites that I link provide context as well as providing the source for the research.

[TsAubreyKate]

[humanearth]

Shows weaknesses

[Subarugirl]

How is sealing treatment for an illness weak?

[humanearth]

Its something you may not understand

When a man goes to others looking for help. It shows that he is not man enough. Its right up there with asking for directions when lost.

[Subarugirl]

[Anonymous]

Toxic masculinity

[Slartybartfast]

Toxic masculinity is simply what men Are pressured to do by women..

If wearing a pink tutu got positive female attention it would be dress code for the fire department.

I was raised by a single mom with two sisters. I did not have a single male teacher until I was 17.

Therefore EVERYTHING I was taught came from women. I grew up in a matriarchy, like most men these days.

So where do these rules I must follow come from?

Not men... That's for certain.

[Opinion Owner]

@Slartybartfast Both women and men can be raised by toxic masculinity. The idea of men repressing emotions and forcing themselves to be strong is because people have put the label on emotions as feminine and have said that femininity is weak. This is why when a woman hurts a man, often the woman isn't blamed because women are seen as weak as is femininity, the man will be seen as weak if he was beaten by a girl even if he was in serious danger.

So many women exhibit a lot of masculine traits and are generally allowed to be as masculine as they want but men are shunned if they show any feminine traits and if they dress femininely especially. There is nothing wrong with masculinity, but when it is pushed against boys throats and when it comes to a point where femininity is seen as inferior and weaker, and when it stops men from being open about their feelings and what they like thats when it becomes toxic.

A set of factors.
