Women's Mental Health
Happy International Women's Day! Today, we would like to not only celebrate the accomplishments of women around the world but also to highlight some of the mental health concerns unique to women:
⭐️ 1 in 5 women in the United States has experienced a mental health condition in the past year (Office on Women's Health).
⭐️ The percent of women treated for a mental health disorder is nearly 50% higher than the percentage of men (Regis College).
⭐️ Some mental health disorders occur only in females. These include premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) and postpartum depression (National Institute of Mental Health).
⭐️ Other mental illnesses occur in both sexes, but are more common in women. This includes Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), which is 70% more prevalent in women (Anxiety and Depression Association of America).
