Question: Does one gender have better mental health than the other

Kelly Rushton answered on 6 Nov 2018:

Mental health problems affect both males and females, although some types of issues are more common in females (for example, depression) and others are more common in males (for example substance abuse). However there are lots of reasons why we have to use statistics with caution – women are more likely to seek help for mental health problems than men – so we have a better understanding of the number of women experiencing problems.
