  • Males accounted for about half (52 percent) of all MHSA discharges–947,100 inpatient hospitalizations in 2008.
  • Mood disorders was the most frequent principal diagnosis for a MHSA stay for both males (38 percent of all male MHSA stays) and females (52 percent of all female MHSA stays). The majority of these stays for mood disorders were for depression.
  • The second and third most frequent reason for male MHSA stays were schizophrenia/other psychotic disorders and alcohol-related disorders; for females, they were schizophrenia/other psychotic disorders and drug-related disorders.

Percent of MHSA stays for males by principal MHSA diagnosis, 2008. Bar chart. Male percent of stays. Autism/other childhood disorders: 76%; alcohol-related disorders: 72%; impulse control disorders: 70%; attention-deficit/conduct/disruptive behavior disorders: 69%; drug-related disorders: 59%; schizophrenia/other psychotic disorders: 56%; developmental disorders: 53%; adjustment disorders: 50%; bipolar disorders: 44%; depression: 43%; personality disorders: 39%; anxiety disorders: 37%; pregnancy-related/other misc. MH disorders: 12%.
  • Stays for autism/other childhood disorders, alcohol-related disorders, impulse control disorders, attention-deficit/conduct/disruptive behavior disorders, drug-related disorders, and schizophrenia/other psychotic disorders were more frequent among males than females in 2008.
    • About three-quarters of MHSA stays with a principal diagnosis of autism/other childhood disorders and alcohol-related disorders were for males.
    • About seven of ten MHSA stays for impulse control disorders and attention-deficit/conduct/disruptive behavior disorders were for males.
  • In contrast, stays for pregnancy-related/other miscellaneous MH disorders, anxiety disorders, personality disorders, depression, and bipolar disorders were less common among males than females.
  • Stays with principal diagnoses of adjustment and developmental disorders were split evenly by gender.
