Not everyone who has to cope with the problems listed below will develop a mental health problem. Rather, a woman usually develops a mental health problem when these pressures are stronger than her ability to cope. Also, not all mental health problems have causes that can be identified. Sometimes we just do not know why someone develops a mental health problem.

Common causes of mental health problems in women are:

  • Stress in daily life
  • Loss and death
  • Changes in a woman‘s life and community
  • Trauma
