Description

With one in five women compared to one in eight men experiencing a common mental health issue in the UK, psychiatrist Linda Gask joins Liz to explore how mental health care is failing the sisterhood.

 

Liz and Linda question why so many more women than men are affected by anxiety, low mood, depression, and other mental health challenges, and they discuss the scores of societal pressures women face that may be contributing here.

 

Linda also shares her thoughts on medication for mental health, the prevalence of medical misogyny and gaslighting, and provides practical advice on getting the right support for your needs.
