Sex differences

Sex differences can influence mental health. Women are more prone to internalising disorders like depression and anxiety, while men are more likely to experience externalising disorders such as substance abuse and antisocial behaviour. These differences are influenced by biological, psychological, and social factors, necessitating gender-specific approaches in mental health treatment and research.
