Women's Issues

Mental disorders and issues can affect women differently than men

Women and Behavioral Health

Picture
Mental disorders can affect women and men differently. Some disorders are more common in women such as depression and anxiety.

There are also certain types of depression that are unique to women. Some women may experience symptoms of mental disorders at times of hormone change, such as 
perinatal depression, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, and perimenopause-related depression.

When it comes to other mental disorders such as 
schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, research has not found differences in rates that men and women experiences these illnesses.

​But, women may experience these illnesses differently – certain symptoms may be more common in women than in men, and the course of the illness can be affected by the sex of the individual. Researchers are only now beginning to tease apart the various biological and psychosocial factors that may impact the mental health of both women and men.
