How does gender impact mental health stigma? 

Many societies expect men to be tough and to hide their emotions. This expectation means men are far less likely to seek help than women, but also have increased rates of depression and suicide. 

Women are often expected to show traditional feminine traits, such as gentleness and emotionality. They are criticized for being “hysterical,” but also for displaying traditional masculine traits, such as competitiveness or aggression.

How can we challenge the stigma?

• Learning and sharing the facts about mental health and illness
• Getting to know people with personal experiences of mental illness
• Speaking up in protest when friends, family, colleagues, or the media display false beliefs and negative stereotypes
• Offering the same support to people when they are sick, regardless of whether it’s with a physical illness or a mental illness
• Not labeling or judging people with a mental illness, and treating them with respect and dignity, as you would anyone else
• Talking openly of your own experience of mental illness: the more hidden mental illness remains, the more people continue to believe that it is shameful and needs to be concealed
