Do you guys have respected scientific resources showing that psychology and or therapy are better for women than men? I need it for an argument. Thanks.

My personal experience is that therapy is a field dominated by women, crafted for women, and benefitting women. I see no value in it for most men. No scientific resources for you, though.

Here are a few recent discussions posted on this sub that include some links to studies on the difficulties men face in getting help for mental health problems, and/or that discuss the issue in detail and may point you to further resources:

If More Men Are Seeking Help for Mental Health, Why Are So Many Dropping Out of Therapy? | Short answer: because the therapy and its delivery are designed for women, so it doesn't suit many men.

A new study found that male-friendly therapists reject ideological beliefs about the patriarchy, and that such beliefs are harmful to male mental health patients

Study: Male mental health problems are related to child access and family court issues following family breakdown

Loneliness and mental health problems in men are caused by systemic and institutionalized forms of sexism against men - Psychology Today

There is a strong clinical need for discrete mental health and suicide prevention services for men and boys, without the feminist bias of current failing services

Men’s mental health: why are we are trying to change masculinity rather than create male-friendly services? - British Holistic Medical Association

"91% of middle-aged men who committed suicide were seeking professional help for problems in their lives, including 50% who were seeing a mental health specialist. This idea that suicidal men are hiding out with a smile on their face until they snap is a myth and amounts to victim blaming." (so obviously the services aren't working for these men)

The above is a link to a thread in r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates discussing this paper titled "Suicide by middle-aged men" by The University of Manchester.
