What are some of the reasons that more boys are treated for psychological problems than are girls, but more women are treated in therapy than are men?
Answer:
Externalizing problems are more common in boys, and for boys, these behaviors are more noticeable as a problem. The prevalence of externalizing behaviors decreases with age, whereas the prevalence of internalizing disorders increases with age. By adulthood, internalizing disorders (typically in women) are more common.
