About this Session:

Women carry a lot of responsibilities across their many roles: wife, mother, employee, caregiver, often putting their own well-being to the side in the process. Maternal mental health disorders affect roughly 20% of U.S. mothers a year, while mothers reporting poor mental health is at an all time high. Women experience depression at roughly twice the rate of men, and the gender gap is even more pronounced in teens, with anxiety disorders affecting 38% of teen girls. The mental health decline among young girls is particularly heartbreaking, with 40% of high school students reporting feeling persistently sad and hopeless, setting up a generation of women to face even greater struggles as they move into adulthood and potentially motherhood themselves. We're looking at a perfect storm where societal pressures, hormonal factors, and systemic healthcare gaps are colliding to create a mental health emergency that's been largely overlooked. It's time to stop treating women's mental health as an afterthought and start building support systems that recognize the unique ways women experience and express psychological distress.
