Objective: This study sought to assess the extent to which gender attitudes are associated with mental health among Australian men and women.
Methods: This study used a sample of 26,188 individuals drawn from five waves of the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia Survey. Gender attitudes were classified into three groups (traditional, moderate-egalitarian and egalitarian), and were constructed from six items. Mental health was measured using the Mental Health Inventory (MHI-5). We calculated the magnitude of associations between gender attitudes and mental health, stratified by gender, and adjusted for potential confounding.
Results: Compared to men with egalitarian attitudes, poorer mental health was observed among men with moderate-egalitarian (-1.16, 95% confidence interval = [-1.84, -0.49]) and traditional gender attitudes (-2.57, 95% confidence interval = [-3.33, -1.81]). Among women, poorer mental health was observed among those with moderate-egalitarian (-0.78, 95% confidence interval = [-1.34, -0.22]) and traditional attitudes (-1.91, 95% confidence interval = [-2.55, -1.26]) compared to those with egalitarian attitudes.
Conclusions: For both men and women, egalitarian gender attitudes were associated with better mental health.

In this paper, I share insights from ongoing ethnographic fieldwork among adult Danes who identify as having Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) but do not meet the clinical standards and have yet to receive a diagnosis. These individuals are particularly relevant to the ongoing debates about under- and overdiagnosis of ADHD, as their claims to the diagnosis influence and mirror societal perceptions of what is considered normal and what is seen as a condition. Despite their symptoms not strictly meeting diagnostic criteria, thus risking overdiagnosis and associated psychiatric labeling, they perceive themselves as distinct from 'normal' people.

Behavioral and mental health (BMH) issues are increasing in adolescents as shortages of primary care and BMH providers are also rising. The healthcare burden has fallen especially hard on primary care providers (PCPs), who are showing increasing signs of burnout and making plans to reduce their work hours or leave the profession altogether. These factors impede their ability to be the first line of defense in providing emotional support to children and families.
