Findings suggest that men’s willingness to seek help for mental health is underestimated not only by other men but women too. Lower willingness to disclose help-seeking may play a role!

As we all know, the most moral thing you can do to help ppl is to make simply existing as painful as possible. Grinding poverty is well known for its ability to spontaneously resolve mental & physical health problems, & not at all make them worse.

The pushback here is correct but worth recognising that the evidence of over-diagnosis is not really the point. It’s a belief that follows from the intent to cut spending, not the other way around. >

One way to react to what is, admittedly, the epidemic of mental health problems in this country is to assume that they are over-diagnosed. (Also a pretty convenient conclusion when your aim is to cut spending on support - but I'm sure that is just a happy coincidence). >
