Some types of depression predominantly affect women, and women are more likely to get a depression diagnosis at this time. A variety of factors, such as underdiagnosed physical health problems that can lead to depression and gender-based violence, bias, or discrimination, all play a probable role in women's mental health. Depression can impact anyone, and it's nothing to be ashamed of. No matter who you are, don't be ashamed to reach out for help. Know that it is possible to feel like yourself again if you are struggling.
