Anita's Mental Health Tips
If you are a woman experiencing depressive symptoms you are not alone.
As a local psychotherapist, who specializes in treating adolescent girls and women depression is a common theme. Research indicates that girls experience depressive symptoms at a significantly higher rate than boys. Contributing factors may include hormones and environmental circumstances. Such as, girls who feel unsuccessful at solving their own problems, school and/or relationships are likely to experience depression. Studies indicate that boys are less likely to experience these issues than girls.
Women who experience depressive symptoms may have felt this way for so long they believe it is, ”normal.” It may be difficult to take action when we are depressed. However, know that this is your depression talking. Taking a walk or jog and not isolating from others may help your mood.
