Episode 3: Women and Mental Health
We take an initial look at how the patriarchy damages women's mental health for example through constantly changing body types. We explore how male violence and rage affects women’s mental health, and delve into how reactions to this trauma can be dangerously mistaken due to harmful stereotypes surrounding female psychology. With 7x as many women being diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder than men with the exact same symptoms, we try to untangle some of the reasons why society is so keen to make women feel like they are mentally unstable rather than simply recovering from trauma in a natural and rational way.
More about women’s mental health will be discussed in our later series coming soon.
Topics discussed include:
- eating disorders
- body image
- Borderline Personality Disorder
- Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
- misdiagnosis
- gaslighting
- psychological violence
