Abstract
Women suffer a high prevalence rate of several mental disorders. The Indian data shows that 23.4% of women meet the criteria for an anxiety disorder, 8.6% for depression, and 11.6% for a mood disorder.
Compared to men, women are two times more likely to be depressed and two to three times more likely to suffer from anxiety disorders such as panic disorders, phobias, obsessive compulsive disorders, and Posttraumatic Stress.
Due to experiencing a high number of mental disorders, women’s psychological well-being (PWB) has been questioned (OWH, 2009).
Considerable research describes the negative influence psychological distress has on women’s lives, but little is understood of what constitutes PWB..
