Every month CARP Halton will feature a Mental Health segment. This
segment will feature information to enrich your Mental Health
understanding.
Gender significantly influences the prevalence, manifestation, and
treatment of mental illness, with women experiencing higher rates of
internalizing disorders like depression and anxiety, while men often
present with externalizing behaviours such as substance abuse and
higher suicide rates. Biological, social, and gender-role factors drive
these differences, with transgender individuals facing higher risks for
depression and anxiety.
