Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This narrative review examines how traditional masculine norms and stigma create attitudinal and structural barriers that delay men's help-seeking for mental health issues. It identifies factors such as self-stigma, limited tailored services, and intersectional variables like class and ethnicity that contribute to adverse outcomes. The resource suggests integrating gender-sensitive approaches and professional training to improve prevention, access, and therapeutic engagement for men.
