Author(s) Dr. Sovana Mukherjee

Abstract This research study undertakes a critical examination of the gender divide in mental health and stigma, employing an intersectional framework to investigate how gender intersects with other social identities to shape mental health experiences and stigma. This research study, as a critical investigation, seeks to provide a nuanced understanding of the complex relationships between gender, mental health, stigma, and societal structures. It explores how gender influences mental health stigma, help-seeking behaviors, and treatment outcomes. This study examines the ways in which healthcare providers' attitudes and practices, as well as societal norms and expectations, perpetuate or mitigate the gender divide in mental health and stigma. This research study may contribute to provide insights into intersectional experiences, recommendations for policy and practice improvements, and contributions to the development of inclusive and equitable mental health care services. This research has significant implications for informing policy and practice in mental health care, empowering marginalized communities through research, and advancing our understanding of intersectional disparities in mental health and stigma. By shedding light on the complex relationships between gender, mental health, and stigma, this study aims to contribute to the development of more effective and inclusive mental health interventions.
