Women's mental health encompasses the emotional, psychological, and social well-being of women throughout their lives. It recognizes the unique challenges women face, including hormonal changes, societal pressures, and experiences of discrimination and violence, which can impact their mental health. Addressing women's mental health requires understanding these specific needs and providing culturally sensitive and gender-responsive support and treatment.
