"Madam President, mental health and well—being are poorly understood in our societies and it is time for that to change. We actively need to break down the stigma and prejudice around mental well—being. Almost a third of Europeans will experience a mental health condition during their lifetime and we need to educate ourselves accordingly. It is clear that we need to take gender into account in mental health. Women are twice as likely to experience depression and anxiety as men as they face constant media objectification, as well as sexual violence and harassment. On the other hand, men and boys are also affected by gender stereotypes that often lead to repression of emotions. Men are three times more likely to commit suicide or develop alcohol and drug addictions.
This report is a strong call to the Commission and Member States to pursue an ambitious mental health and well—being strategy, which includes a psychosocial approach, taking into account the social, cultural and environmental factors that determine and affect mental health. It includes the impact of austerity policies, public service cuts, social inequalities, age and background. We need tailored policies to address the needs of the most vulnerable such as LGBTI women and women refugees."@en1
