On this , we want to talk about how women are impacted by depression.
Depression is a serious mental health condition that affects 60 million people in the U.S. each year. Because of societal pressures on women to “have it all,” it’s no surprise that feelings of embarrassment or shame often keep them from seeking treatment for depression.
Certain types of depression are unique to women, depending on their stage of life, like premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), postpartum depression, and perimenopausal depression.
The most important thing to remember is that you are not alone. Depression is treatable, and you deserve to heal.
Learn more about depression in women at https://mhanational.org/resources/depression-in-women/.
If you’ve been experiencing symptoms of depression, take a free, confidential online mental health screening at mhanational.org.
If you’re struggling or in crisis, help is available. Call or text 988 or chat 988lifeline.org. You can also reach Crisis Text Line by texting HELLO to 741741.
