Life Span

Individual values, beliefs, and cultural norms may significantly shape one’s experience of mental health challenges as well as the perception of symptoms. Racial/ethnic, gender, and sexual minorities often suffer from poor mental health outcomes due to a number of barriers when seeking healthcare in general. Access to resources, misinformation, and higher levels of stigma are common obstacles to proper diagnosis and treatment of mental health conditions.
