May has been designated as Women’s Mental Health Month (also known as “Women’s Health Awareness Month”) since 1949. We take this time to observe and help women who are affected by mental health conditions. It is also a time to remind everybody that most serious mental health conditions cannot be cured but can be treated so these women can live healthy lives.
Men and women experience many of the same mental health disorders, but they react to them quite differently. A common but often overlooked mental disorder that affects around 10% of women is post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Even though women don’t experience as many traumatic events on average as men do, they are twice as likely to develop PTSD.
PTSD in women can occur as the result of experiencing any traumatic event like the sudden death of a loved one, a car accident, rape, physical or verbal abuse. A PTSD survivor experiences severe debilitating anxiety and fear for an extended period of time. Women with PTSD relive the trauma through flashbacks, memories, or nightmares.
Women often do not realize they have PTSD because they don’t attribute their thoughts and feelings to a previous life event, let alone that their condition is a treatable one. Therefore, you can educate women with PTSD-focused educational materials by distributing Marketing Brochures. These brochures can be completely customized with your company’s information and mental health facts when you order from us. These women having a pen and notepad or health log handy to write down the thoughts and feelings they are experiencing could be helpful too. You can provide all of these items to them by first purchasing the materials through our web store:
