Critically, 6.6 out of 10
women in Australia suffer
with a mental illness
according to the
Mental Health
Australia Report to
the Nation.
The National
Institute of Mental
Health have also found
that disorders such
as depression, anxiety
and eating disorders are
particularly high in the female
demographic. There is no one
reason behind female mental
health diagnoses. In reality, there
are a myriad topical issues, such as the
cost-of-living crisis, that have become major drivers.
