So how are you really feeling? : A review about how masculinity norms affect men’s help seeking when suffering from mental health issues (English)
Abstract [en]

Background: Men around the world seek help to a lesser extent than women for mental health problems. Standards have demonstrated themselves negative in how men seek help for their mental problems, as they are usually associated as female problems. Men tend to minimize their mental illnessin fear of becoming stigmatized. The stigma can affect men's social life and aggravate their mental illness.

Aim: The aim of the literature study was to describe how masculinity norms affect men’s help seeking when suffering from mental health issues.

Method: A qualitative literature review based on 15 qualitative articles analyzed with a thematic analysis.

Results: Five themes were identified; Mens obligations, Stigma to seek help for mental illness, Prejudice against mental illness, Lacking knowledge about mental illness, Lacking confidence to the healthcare.

Conclusion: Norms affect men’s help seeking for mental health problems from several different angles. They can be enforced by the men themselves or by the community. Through knowledge of which thenorms are and how they are enforced, can they be changed.
