Re: women's mental health.
1 in 8 women are diagnosed with major depression, which is twice the rate of diagnosis in men.
Ugh. Too much I could say about this: women not being taken seriously by mental health care providers, improper diagnosis and treatment of illness, differing cultural stigmas for men (not encouraged to step forward) and women (over-encouraged) regarding diagnosis and treatment.
