Gender und psychische Störungen
Continuous assessment of course work
Labels
The lifetime prevalence rate of mental disorders in both males and females is approximately equal. However, significant gender related differences are found throughout individuals' lifespan on the level of specific mental disorders. In detail, "gender" is correlated with the prevalence of certain mental disorders such as depression or anxiety disorders. Naturally, these findings can be explained by underlying and interacting psychosocial, biological, socio-economic and socio-structural factors as well as risk and protective factors. Research on "gender and mental disorders" is so tremendously important, because the results deliver necessary adaptation of both research and practice, e.g. gender-sensitive diagnosis, interventions and health and socio-political practice (keywords: Women's and men's health research --> Women's and men's health promotion). First, the lecturer offers an introduction to the topic with theoretical inputs and videos. In keynote presentations, group presentations, discussions and group work we further explore and discuss the underlying mechanisms of gender differences in mental disorders. In addition, together we derive implications for research, practice, and society.
