I think pressure from family, handling both family and work at the same time. Unnecessary restrictions such as don't go to work or learn cooking.

The causes of mental health issues among women are complex and can vary. Factors like societal expectations, hormonal changes, stress, trauma, and biological differences may contribute. It's important to recognize that each person's experience is unique, and seeking professional help is crucial for understanding and addressing individual circumstances.

Hi, I am Pragya Arora, a clinical psychologist. According to research, anxiety and depression are the top two mental health issues among women. The stress between balancing various roles and societal pressure can be challenging and it’s essential that we as women reach out to experts and get the help we deserve!

Top discussionTuning into your live session at 6 PM sounds great! Here are 7 Benefits of taking a sun bath and how it can be good for#mental health: #BenefitsofSunBaths #TarotSagePooja 1. Vitamin D Production: Sun exposure helps your body produce vitamin D, which is essential for bone health, immune function, and mood regulation. Low levels of vitamin D have been linked to depression. 2. Improved Mood: Sunlight increases the production of serotonin, a hormone that can enhance mood and promote feelings of well-being. This can help alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression. 3. Better Sleep: Exposure to natural light during the day helps regulate your body's circadian rhythm. This can lead to better sleep quality and duration, both of which are crucial for mental health. 4. Stress Reduction: Taking time to bask in the sun can be a relaxing experience, helping to reduce stress and anxiety levels. The warmth of sunlight can create a sense of comfort and peace. 5. Increased Mindfulness: Sunbathing encourages you to slow down and enjoy the present moment, fostering mindfulness. Practicing mindfulness can lower stress levels and improve overall mental clarity. 6. Enhanced Motivation and Energy Levels: Sunlight exposure boosts energy levels and promotes feelings of vitality, which can lead to increased motivation to engage in physical activity and social interactions. 7. Connect with Nature: Spending time outdoors in the sun helps foster a connection with nature. This connection has been shown to improve mood, reduce feelings of loneliness, and enhance overall well-being. # Conclusion Taking sun baths can have a positive impact on both physical and mental health. Remember to balance sun exposure with skin protection to avoid damage from UV rays. Enjoy your live session!

Popular opinionI am Shweta. My 16-year-old daughter has been really struggling with anxiety lately, having panic attacks and missing school. As her mom, I want to help but I'm at a loss for the right ways to support her through this. What are some effective coping strategies I can guide her towards? She shuts down when I try to talk about getting professional help. @vijaylaxmi
Popular opinionSo here's what happened. My best friend, Sarah, noticed I've been kind of… off lately. We were supposed to meet for coffee, but I kept canceling because I just couldn't leave the house. Finally, she came over, all worried, and that's when it all spilled out. The constant thoughts, you know, the ones that latch onto your brain and won't let go? Yeah, those. And the urges to do certain things, over and over, even if they make no sense? Turns out, it all has a name – OCD. what should i do to be better? @MindsightClinic
