Women's Mental Health
Mental Health
Women can wear many hats. They can be caregivers, professionals, moms, cooks, and more—and many all at once. When you don’t’ spend enough time to stop and focus on yourself, depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues can sneak in.
This is normal. This is okay. More than 20% of women in the United States have experienced some type of mental health condition in the past year, especially:
- Eating Disorders
- Depression, including postpartum depression
- Anxiety, including generalized anxiety, panic disorders, specific phobias, and seasonal affective disorder
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
And there are many, many more mental health issues that affect men and women equally.
