Abstract

Masculinity has silently impacted men, leading to poorer mental health, underutilization of mental health services, and higher rates of suicide, violence, and substance abuse. This study aimed to explore the barriers males face in seeking mental health services. Qualitative research with thirty male participants was conducted through face-to-face interviews. The interviewees of this study were college students enrolled in an educational institution. Convenient sampling was used to select the interviewees. Content Analysis is the qualitative design that was used for the exploration of different barriers faced by males in seeking mental health services. The content of the interview was analyzed systematically. After analyzing the contents, items were generated which were repetitively coming up. Repetitive items were clubbed and codes were generated. Barriers were identified and categorized. The results revealed that there are significant barriers faced by males in seeking mental health services.
