Why do you think men don't? Most of the studies of psychological issues have been done by men.
The issue isn't gender but a mix of personality and upbringing that creates an inability to understand. As well as never having to have dealt with it personally. I'd say it's more of a reflection on the men around you than it being a gender problem. People, male or female, that have never suffered from it have a higher chance of not understanding.
Men may seem to have a higher ratio of not grasping it because men tend to think more logically. Think of a man repairing a car. If the car stops working do a series of steps that will make it work again. Such sorts of things are what men are drawn to. It doesn't require understanding or sympathy or complication. The mind and people are the opposite. The steps are not set and guaranteed effective results, so some men may have a harder time grasping that not everything is so black and white.
But I've seen women not have the ability to understand mental illness either.
PS your font is tiny. If you wish to use a different font than the default you may need to also increase it's size. Otherwise some may not be able to read your posts.

Men are not nice? Odd. I've known plenty of nice men.
I, as a guy, am regularly engaged in private messages helping others. I have one friend I've been helping through things for over a year.
Everyone loves my dad. Many not even related to him see him as a father or uncle. Kids are crazy about him.
I once dated a woman with OCD, ADHD, panic disorder. She had a son with ADHD/sensory overload issues.
I remember as a teen my best friend going up to a man in a restraunt he thought looked depressed, he was asking the man of he needed any help.
I could go on and on about the good things done by good men ice known. So I can't be convinced men are not nice. I could tell you some stories about what mean things I've seen women do.
The issue, again, isn't gender. It's the people around you. If all the men you know are not nice that doesn't mean all men aren't nice, it means the men around you are not nice. There's a big difference.

I was raised by a mother with bipolar. In dating, I have found women think it's okay for women to have emotional problems but not men because women are looking for a strong rock to support and nurture them. Part of the dating process is for men and women to get together who will marry and provide a good home to raise children. Thus the rejection process of dating. Unfortunately, I tend to be a enabler for women with issues because I'm it's what I know.
My brother did nothing wrong. his crazy ex wife said he did something really bad. But I believe my brother over her. She told a lot of lies about my brother. On facebook I read people want him dead. I am not saying where he is at. because I don't want any thing to happen to him. The police don't believe him.
My mother was a caseworker at an Institute for the chronically mentally ill. I know a lot about mental illness. As I have never been mentally ill myself I do not understand what it is like, but I know a lot about how to deal with people who are mentally ill.
Perhaps you just don't know very many men? You certainly don't seem to know very much about men...
