Mental Health and Women
When women find it hard to talk about difficult feelings, they tend to internalize them. This can lead to or worsen conditions like depression, eating disorders, and self-harm. Men are more likely to act out their feelings through disruptive or anti-social behavior, which gains more attention in society.
On the other hand, some factors protect women’s mental health: they tend to have better social networks than men, find it easier to confide in their friends and are more likely to have been treated for a mental health problem.

“Right now we [as a society] feel anxious. There’s a lot that’s anxiety-provoking in the world. On the one hand, we’re having a deep upheaval and reckoning with what’s not right in our society. And at the same time, we’re bathed in marketing that preys on our fear response.”
Dr. Ellen Vora
