Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Psychiatrists and clinical psychologists are more likely to diagnose men as mentally ill than women because of the way that mental illness is defined and diagnosed. Mental illness is often defined in terms of symptoms that are more common in men, such as aggression, violence, and antisocial behavior. As a result, men are more likely to be diagnosed with mental illness even if they are not actually experiencing symptoms of mental illness.
