In 2023, it was estimated that 28.5 percent of U.S. women received mental health treatment or counseling at some time in the past year. This statistic shows the percentage of U.S. women who received mental health treatment or counseling in the past year from 2002 to 2023.
In 2023, around 17 percent of men in the United States received mental health treatment or counseling in the past year. The share of men who have received treatment for mental health problems has increased over the past couple decades likely due to a decrease in stigma around seeking such help and increased awareness of mental health issues. However, women in the U.S. are still much more likely to receive mental health treatment than men. Mental illness among men No one is immune to mental illness and the impact of mental health problems can be severe and debilitating. In 2023, it was estimated that 19 percent of men in the United States had some form of mental illness in the past year. Two of the most common mental disorders among men and women alike are anxiety disorders and depression. Depression is more common among men in their late teens and early 20s, with around 15 percent of U.S. men aged 21 to 25 years reporting experiencing a major depressive episode in the past year as of 2022. Depression is a very treatable condition, but those suffering from depression are at a much higher risk of suicide than those who do not have depression. Suicide among men Although women in the United States are more likely to report suffering from mental illness than men, the suicide rate among U.S. men is around 3.7 times higher than that of women. Suicide deaths among men are much more likely to involve the use of firearms, which may explain some of the disparity in suicide deaths between men and women. In 2020, around 58 percent of suicide deaths among men were from firearms compared to just 33 percent of suicide deaths among women. Although more people in the United States are accessing mental health, barriers to treatment persist. In 2022, the thought that they could handle the problem without treatment was the number one reason U.S. adults gave for not receiving the mental health treatment they required.
In 2023, around 59.2 million adults in the United States received treatment or counseling for their mental health within the past year. Such treatment included inpatient or outpatient treatment or counseling, or the use of prescription medication. Anxiety and depression are two common reasons for seeking mental health treatment. Who most often receives mental health treatment? In the United States, women are almost twice as likely than men to have received mental health treatment in the past year, with around 21 percent of adult women receiving some form of mental health treatment in the past year, as of 2021. Considering age, those between 18 and 44 years are more likely to receive counseling or therapy than older adults, however older adults are more likely to take medication to treat their mental health issues. Furthermore, mental health treatment in general is far more common among white adults in the U.S. than among other races or ethnicities. In 2020, around 24.4 percent of white adults received some form of mental health treatment in the past year compared to 15.3 percent of black adults and 12.6 percent of Hispanics. Reasons for not receiving mental health treatment Although stigma surrounding mental health treatment has declined over the last few decades and access to such services has greatly improved, many people in the United States who want or need treatment for mental health issues still do not get it. For example, it is estimated that almost half of women with some form of mental illness did not receive any treatment in the past year, as of 2022. Sadly, the most common reason for U.S. adults to not receive mental health treatment is that they thought they could handle the problem without treatment. Other common reasons for not receiving mental health treatment include not knowing where to go for services or could not afford the costs.
This statistic shows the percentage of U.S. adults that have received treatment for a mental health condition as of April 2018, by gender. According to the results, among those that identified as male, 14 percent were in current treatment for a mental health issue.

Background: Men and women differ in the mental health issues they typically face. This study aims to describe gender differences in preferences for mental health treatment options and specifically tries to identify participants who prefer AI-based therapy over traditional face-to-face therapy.
Method: A nationally representative sample of 2,108 participants (53% female) aged 18 to 74 years completed a CBCAs. Within the CBCA, participants evaluated twenty choice sets, each describing three treatment variants in terms of provider, content, costs, and waiting time.
Results: Costs (relative importance [RI] = 55%) emerged as the most critical factor when choosing between treatment options, followed by provider (RI= 31%), content (RI = 10%), and waiting time (RI = 4%). Small yet statistically significant differences were observed between women and men. Women placed greater importance on the provider, while men placed greater importance on cost and waiting time. Age and previous experience with psychotherapy and with mental health apps were systematically related to individual preferences but did not alter gender effects. Only a minority (approximately 8%) of participants preferred AI-based treatment to traditional therapy.
Conclusions: Overall, affordable mental health treatments performed by human therapists are consistently favored by both men and women. AI-driven mental health apps should align with user preferences to address psychologist shortages. However, it is uncertain whether they alone can meet the rising demand, highlighting the need for alternative solutions.

Abstract Background. Music directly addresses the emotions and other functional systems that are impaired in major depressive disorder (MDD). Therefore, music therapy (MT) can be an effective complement in the treatment of MDD. To date, the research situation is not sufficient to provide evidence of its efficacy. Methods. The study was conducted as a randomized controlled trial with group MT (GMT) in the intervention group (IG) and a waitlist control group (CG). The study aimed to investigate group*time interaction effects regarding self-rated, observer-rated, and momentary depression. Secondary outcomes encompassed emotion and mood regulation strategies and health-related quality of life. Outcomes were measured before, after, and partly 10 weeks after the intervention period. Results. 102 women between 18 and 65 years diagnosed with current MDD took part in the study. Overall, greater health-promoting effects were shown in the IG than in the CG, particularly in the pre-to-post comparison. Significant results were shown regarding momentary depression, quality of life, and different regulation strategies, especially using music. Limitations. Limitations comprised the high dropout rate and data loss due to the coronavirus pandemic, long-term effects of GMT not being assured, limited generalizability due to the biological female sex of the sample, and conditional transferability due to the process-driven application of GMT. Conclusions. GMT is a cost-effective and non-invasive approach to treat MDD yielding health-promoting effects regarding depressive symptoms, regulatory abilities, and QoL. However, the underlying mechanisms of action should be further investigated within methodologically high-quality studies. For this purpose, manualization of MT is strongly recommended. Trial Registration: The MUSED study was pre-registered in the German Clinical Trials Register (registration code: DRKS00016616).

Abstract An analysis and description is given for the possible reasons why occupational therapy is seen as a female profession. An analytical narrative-style literature review is offered in conjunction with qualitative data analysis. The entry of women to the workplace was shrouded in stereotypes associated with the female gender, determining typically female professions. The stereotypes of skill in caregiving and tasks that required fine motor skills, kindness, and patience were the qualities required for the first occupational therapists and determined the gendered nature of the profession. Changes in gender stereotypes are today taking place in a context of debates, and this discussion could help garner greater recognition and value for the profession.

ABSTRACT It was assessed the profile of faculty members and contents of Physical Therapy in Women’s Health taught in Public Institutions of Higher Education in Brazil. This is a cross-sectional and descriptive study. Professors of Physical Therapy in Women’s Health or related areas of Brazilian Public Institutions were invited to fill a structured questionnaire containing questions about personal information, academic background, professional experience and syllabus of the subject. Data were descriptively analyzed in the SAS Program. Fifty-one professors of 44 Physical Therapy programs participated in the research. Most of the professors were women, with an average age of 39.6 ± 7.4 years. Most of them held research, teaching and extension activities and master’s and doctoral degrees, but only 25.5% are registered in Graduate Programs in Specialized Fields (Master’s or Doctorate). All programs offer at least one compulsory subject and in 54.6% of the programs a compulsory internship in Physical Therapy in Women’s Health is offered. The contents taught and practice scenarios are diverse, as well as the name of the subjects and internships. In most programs, students learn how to perform vaginal palpation in the internship and practical skills are trained in a diversified way and in varied practical scenarios. The professors are young, female and conduct teaching, research and extension activities. All programs offer mandatory subjects in the area and most of them offer mandatory internship. The name of the subjects vary as well as the form of training of the practical skills taught.
