Rediscover Your Joy and Empowerment: Thrive with Support
Has the joy you once cherished started to fade? Are you trapped in an abusive or toxic relationship? Have years of grappling with low self-worth left you with a life that falls short of your dreams?
Throughout history, women have often been hailed as “the fairer sex.” Yet, if you were to delve into the life stories of many women, you’d find that fairness hasn’t always been their reality.
Women contend with a unique blend of environmental, psychological, and biological challenges tied to their gender that can significantly impact their mental well-being. When these challenges go unaddressed, they can evolve into heavy burdens, leading to anxiety, depression, and a loss of self.
Unveiling the Connection: Women and Mental Health
Studies led by Daniel Freeman, a clinical psychologist at Oxford University, indicate that women might be 20% to 40% more prone to developing mental health disorders than men. Freeman suggests that women’s tendency to view themselves negatively contributes to their vulnerability to various mental health issues.
Common mental health challenges experienced by women encompass:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Postpartum depression
- Postpartum psychosis
- Post-traumatic stress
- Eating disorders
- Borderline personality
- Mood-related struggles
- Low self-esteem
- Self-harming behaviors
Empowerment through Women-Centered Therapy
The toll of women’s issues on emotional, physical, and mental well-being can be profound. From mild to severe, these effects often exceed one’s capacity to cope alone.
