Women and Mental Health

Depression, anxiety, psychological distress, sexual violence, violence and escalating rates of substance use affect women than men across different countries and different settings. Pressures created by their multiple roles, gender discrimination and associated factors of poverty, hunger, malnutrition, overwork, violence, and sexual assault , combine to account for women's poor psychological state . When women dare to disclose their problems, many doctors tend to possess gender biases which lead them to either over-treat or under-treat women.
