Abstract:
According to the World Health Organization, 1 in 7 youth ages 10 to 19 years old experience mental health disorders, including anxiety, depression, and behavioral difficulties. There are sex biases in prevalence rates of mental health disorders; females are more likely diagnosed with anxiety and depression, while males are more often diagnosed with behavioral disorders. There is a reciprocal interaction between the decline in educational outcomes and mental health among young males. This article highlights the intersection between psychiatric disorders, gender norms, and educational outcomes and provides clinical recommendations to support a positive developmental and educational trajectory for male youth.
