Research shows that talk therapy leads to increased happiness, produces effective coping skills, and promotes fulfilling relationships–especially for women. Compared to men, women are twice as likely to suffer from depression and three times as likely to become depressed after a stressful event. Women deal with a variety of unique factors that make them more susceptible to anxiety and stress than men. For example, a woman’s hormonal changes can affect the way the female brain manages stress. These factors can trigger symptoms of mood disorders which may show up as alcohol abuse, isolating or withdrawal from social activities, overspending, eating too much or too little, episodes of rage with loved ones, to name a few.
