General Mechanism Understanding the problem and how and why it gets perpetuated is the first step to finding solutions. Such and such theory gives us a better understanding of the discrimination and potentially relevant factors....(source)....theory (source)----- Example

Problem Behavior 1: Being afraid to ask for help/ Learned helplessness

Goffman's theory of stigma and impression management explains why women may have a difficult time reaching out for help regarding postpartum psychiatric disorders. There is a stigma attached to mothers who suffer from PP psychiatric disorders. To reduce the risk of falling victim to this stigma, women may use impression management to put on the act that they are fine. Additionally, women may find it difficult to access appropriate care and/or experience shame repeatedly when seeking help, causing them to stop seeking help altogether. This is also known aslearned helplessness.

Problem Behavior 2:Lack of knowledge

The lack of knowledge about postpartum depression can contributeto trial and error approach to problem-solving in an instance where there might be a misidentification of PPD symptoms. For example, without adequate knowledge about PPD, new mothers may fail to recognize the symptoms they are experiencing. PPD can vary widely and may be mistaken for hormonal changes. The lack of recognition can lead to attempts at solving problems that are not addressing the underlying issue.

Problem Behavior 3:Existence (evolutionary theory)

Theevolutionary theory may explain why postpartum psychiatric disorders are so prevalent. The saying "It takes a village" is the idea that it takes time, help, energy, understanding, and overall support from those around you after having a baby. The evolutionary theory, in terms of PPD, theorizes that PPD is a result of modern civilization and a mother's lack of support from her community. Modern civilization is too "busy" and individualistic to offer the kind of support that is suggested in the saying "It takes a village".
