- Men’s Likely Responses to Clinical Depression: What Are They and Do Masculinity Norms Predict Them? (2006, background): “Despite these alarming rates of suicide, men tend to avoid seeking help for depression compared to women (Kessler, Brown, & Boman, 1981; Moller-Leimkuhler, 2002; Padesky & Hammen, 1981; Rickwood & Braithwaite, 1994 ;W eissman & Klerman, 1977).”
- Big boys don't cry: depression and men † (2008, background): “For example, seeking help might be interpreted as incompetence and dependence (Möller-Leimkühler, 2002), and research has shown that individuals who adhere to the masculine role have negative attitudes towards using counselling services (Good & Wood, 1995).”
- 'It's caveman stuff, but that is to a certain extent how guys still operate': men's accounts of masculinity and help seeking. (2005, result): “This mirrors findings from other research, both in men with particular health problems (e.g. Chapple & Ziebland, 2002; Moller-Leimkuhler, 2002; Petchey, Farnsworth, & Williams, 2000; White, 1999; White & Johnson, 2000), and those without (e.”
- “Brave Men” and “Emotional Women”: A Theory-Guided Literature Review on Gender Bias in Health Care and Gendered Norms towards Patients with Chronic Pain (2018, background): “Gender-blindness can lead to women’s needs being overlooked, as seen in coronary heart diseases [23], but can also lead to that men’s needs are failed to notice, as seen in under-diagnosed depression in men [32].”
- Do people recognise mental illness? (2003, neutral): “Being one aspect of mental health literacy recognition of mental illness is additionally important as the individual helpseeking behaviour, but also recommendations to the social network are depending on whether or not an illness is identified [21, 22].”
- Perceived public stigma and the willingness to seek counseling: The mediating roles of self-stigma and attitudes toward counseling. (2007, background): “Sex Differences in Perceptions of Stigma Studies consistently find that women are more likely to seek help for emotional issues (Moller-Leimkuhler, 2002) and possess more positive attitudes toward counseling than men (Fischer & Farina, 1995).”
- “Standing out from the herd”: men renegotiating masculinity in relation to their experience of illness (2007, background): “However, there are some empirical data indicating that help-seeking with depressive symptoms may present particular difficulties for men because of the challenge this presents to the sense of masculinity (Heifner, 1997; Moller-Leimkuhler, 2002).”
- Men’s Mental Health Services: The Case for a Masculinities Model (2018, background): “Clearly, when men access services, health care system approaches regularly fail to fully engage them, and the chances are low that these men will attempt to reengage via other services after a negative experience (Calear, Griffiths, & Christensen, 2011; Möller-Leimkühler, 2002).”
