Women’s Issues
Have You Lost the Joy You Once Felt?
Are you stuck in an abusive or toxic relationship? Do years of low self-worth feel like they’ve shaped a life you didn’t envision for yourself?
While women have often been called “the fairer sex,” many would agree that life’s experiences haven’t always seemed fair. Women face unique environmental, psychological, and biological challenges that can deeply impact mental health and well-being. When left unaddressed, these challenges can grow into heavy burdens, leading to anxiety, depression, and a diminished sense of self.
Are Women More Vulnerable to Mental Health Challenges?
Research by Daniel Freeman, a clinical psychologist at Oxford University, analyzed 12 large-scale studies and found that women may be 20% to 40% more likely to develop a mental illness than men. According to Freeman, “Women tend to view themselves more negatively than men, and that is a vulnerability factor for many mental health problems.”
Common Mental Health Issues for Women Include:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Postpartum depression and psychosis
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Eating disorders
- Borderline personality disorder
- Mood-related challenges
- Low self-worth
- Self-harming behaviors
Why Seek Therapy for Women’s Issues?
Women’s mental health challenges can significantly affect emotional, physical, and overall well-being. The impact can range from mild to severe, and many women find it difficult to navigate these struggles alone.
