Women's IssuesWomen and men can experience mental health issues differently. There are certain disorders that women face more frequently than men, such as eating disorders, post-partum depression and body image concerns. In addition, hormonal changes can affect the way women feel about themselves and others. Societal and cultural pressures play a factor in mental health for women. They often have multiple roles, like being a mother, partner and worker. Women at times may feel as though they are not treated fairly or paid fairly due to discrimination. During times of transition, women may feel as though they have lost their identity: during motherhood, returning to the workforce and being single after years with a partner. These concerns can increase stress levels as well as increasing women’s prevalence for anxiety, depression and a host of other disorders.
