Barriers to mental healthcare
Barriers to mental healthcare are the obstacles—structural, social, financial, and cultural—that prevent people from getting needed mental health support. These can include things like mental health stigma, provider bias, mis- or under-diagnosis, lack of insurance or financial resources, geographic limitations, and social determinants of health such as education, income, and community context. For marginalized groups, these barriers are often compounded by intersecting identities (e.g. race, gender, orientation) and historical inequalities, making access to care harder and outcomes worse.
