Woman have taken on heavier burdens over the past two years. The endemic pressures on women in society worsened in this time. There have been more incidents of domestic violence against women and girls, heightened anxiety and depression are being seen disproportionately in women. Reports of gender discrimination have also increased. These may have several causes that cumulatively have made the burden on women greater since 2020. These include the pressure on couples and families due to isolation and financial strain, the inability to secure child-care and the subsequent burden placed on mothers to juggle work and parenting responsibilities coupled with the loss of income all burdened women disproportionately. The increased incidence of substance abuse in men and women has resulted in the deterioration in relationships. Together these add to the mental health burden women carry and the increasing trend toward depression and anxiety. Newtown TMS offers comprehensive and compassionate care.
