Importance of Women's Mental Health

Author(s): Mark B Hamner

Women's mental health is influenced by a variety of factors. Women are more likely than men to be the primary caregiver for their children, and they may also look after elderly or disabled relatives. Caregivers are more likely than other women to suffer from anxiety and depression. Women are more likely than men to live in poverty. Many mental health issues, such as depression and bipolar disorder, affect women more than men or in different ways than men. T
