What is women’s mental health?

Women’s mental health includes the thoughts, behavior patterns, emotions, moods, and lifestyle habits of women. Mental health conditions that many women face throughout their lifetime include:

• Relationship problems
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
• Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Phobias
• Sleep disorders
• Schizophrenia
• Sexual disorders
• Substance use disorders
• Eating disorders
• Bipolar disorder

Treating your condition at the first sign of its presence reduces the chance of a mental health challenge worsening into a debilitating or life-altering problem. 

What are the risk factors for women’s mental health concerns?

Women's mental health conditions often result from genetics, challenging life situations, job losses, relationship problems, lack of a strong social support network, and fluctuating hormones. Trauma, stress, some medications, and certain medical conditions can also contribute to poor women’s mental health.

What happens during women’s mental health treatments?

Women’s mental health treatment plans with The Modalities Group team include individual, couples, family, or group counseling sessions. You might also take medications designed to diminish bothersome symptoms of a mental health disorder.

You meet with a therapist who gets to know you and your unique situation. They offer cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and other counseling strategies that allow you to alter your thoughts, emotions, and behavior patterns.

Your therapist develops a treatment plan that resolves relationship conflicts, improves your mood, and restores your quality of life.

You might meet with your mental health specialist weekly or as needed to maximize your well-being and overcome difficult life situations. You can call The Modalities Group office whenever you have concerns or questions about your mental health or treatment plan.
