Özet:
Depression is a common mental illness that effects millions of people around the world. The diagnosis and treatment of depression is disproportionately higher amongst women compared to men. Men with depressive symptoms that are untreated are likely to display maladaptive coping behaviors and are at greater risk of suicide. Higher rates of suicide among men suggests a correlation to the under diagnosis and treatment of depression in men. Barriers to the diagnosis of depression in men result in poor detection, awareness and disclosure of depressive symptoms. These barriers can be contributed to masculine gender norms that lead to restricted emotional expression and mental health stigmas that lead to the avoidance of help seeking from mental health practitioners. Among the treatments for depression, Cognitive Behavior Therapy is one form of treatment that has been proven effective in reducing depression in men. However, the majority of studies evaluating Cognitive Behavior Therapy contained smaller samples of male participants. To diminish the barriers of treatment for men a greater effort to raise awareness through public service campaigns would help to counter the mental health stigmas and reduce the negative effects of gender socialization on men. The use of male specific screenings tools, inclusive diagnostic criteria and targeted treatment can potentially decrease suicide and other harmful risk-taking behavior in men.
