What percentage of men in the UK receive treatment for depression?

The correct answer is: 9%

The choice of 9% as the percentage of men in the UK receiving treatment for depression aligns with data collected from mental health surveys and reports which indicate that around this figure reflects the proportion of men seeking help for depression. It captures the persistent underreporting and stigma associated with mental health issues, particularly among men. Social norms often discourage men from expressing vulnerability or seeking psychological help, which contributes to lower treatment rates compared to women. In the UK, studies have shown that while depression affects a significant number of individuals, the engagement with mental health services remains relatively low for men. This percentage is a reminder of the ongoing challenges in encouraging men to access mental health treatment, emphasizing the importance of awareness campaigns and support mechanisms tailored for men.
