Mums with depression

THE modern woman has many responsibilities, what with juggling a career and home duties. This type of lifestyle is highly stressful, and since women tend to focus more on caring for others to the extent of neglecting their own needs, this adds significantly to their levels of stress.

All this renders them more vulnerable to mental health problems like depression, which affects around 20% of women over the course of their lifetime, as opposed to 10% for men.
