Women’s Mental Health
Have you lost the joy you once felt? Are you trapped in an abusive or toxic relationship? Have years of living with low self-worth left you with a life far from what you desire?
For centuries, women have been referred to as "the fairer sex." However, if you asked women about their life experiences, many would tell you that life hasn’t always been fair. Women face unique environmental, psychological, and biological challenges that can significantly impact their mental health and well-being. When these challenges go unaddressed, they can lead to anxiety, depression, and a lost sense of identity.
Are Women More at Risk for Mental Health Issues?
Research by clinical psychologist, Daniel Freeman from Oxford University, found that women maybe 20% to 40% more likely to develop a mental illness than men. According to Freeman, "Women tend to view themselves more negatively than men, which is a vulnerability factor for many mental health problems."
Common Mental Health Issues in Women:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Postpartum depression and psychosis
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Eating disorders
- Borderline personality disorder- Mood-related challenges
- Low self-worth
