Why Women Get the Short End of the Stick When It Comes to Mental Health

Between hormonal fluctuations and societal expectations, women and men have very different experiences with their mental health. Despite growing awareness, society is still working on addressing women’s issues with the nuance they require. Some institutes, hoping to improve the situation, have begun to offer women-centered care, such as specialized therapy for women’s issues. If you’re tired of being dismissed or judged for seeking thoughtful mental health support, our office might be a good option for you. 

Real Support for Women’s Mental Health

Women are more likely to be diagnosed with anxiety, depression, and certain trauma-related disorders. Yet their symptoms are also more likely to be misdiagnosed or minimized. As a result, too many women deal with delayed or negligent care. Some of the conditions that disproportionally affect women include: 

• Postpartum depression – Affects 1 in 7 women after childbirth 

• Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) – A severe form of PMS with intense emotional and physical symptoms 

• Anxiety and depression – Often tied to hormonal, social, and home life stressors 

• Eating disorders and body image concerns – Influenced by unrealistic beauty standards and early conditioning 

These issues are compounded by an imbalance in caregiving roles, unequal access to healthcare, and a history of being underrepresented in clinical research.
