Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that women are more likely to be penalized in diagnoses for conforming to or ignoring stereotypes. For example, women who are assertive and independent may be labeled as having a personality disorder, while men who display similar behaviors are not. Additionally, disorders in women are often overlooked or minimized, leading to delayed or incorrect diagnoses. Option A is incorrect because emotional expressions and yardsticks used to assess mental illness are not gender-specific. Option B is only partially correct, as disorders may be overlooked in women, but not more so than in men. Option D is not a valid option for this question because no such disorder exists.
