Suicide is the biggest single cause of death for Australian women aged 18 to 34
One in three Australian women will suffer depression or anxiety during their lifetime
Women are more susceptible to anxiety and depression than men
Post natal depression affects 15% of women within the first year after childbirth
Who are we?

Mental illnesses affect women and men differently — some disorders are more common in women, and some express themselves with different symptoms. Scientists are only now beginning to tease apart the contributions of various biological and psychosocial factors to mental health and mental illness in both women and men. In addition, researchers are currently studying the special problems of treatment for serious mental illness during pregnancy and the postpartum period.
The mental disorders affecting women include the following:
Anxiety Disorders, including OCD, panic, PTSD, social phobia, and generalized anxiety disorders.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD, ADD)
Borderline Personality Disorder
