Women’s day and mental health

 For centuries , the differences between men & women have been socially defined and distorted through  a lens of #Sexism  in which men assumed superiority over women & maintained it through domination. this has led to underestimating the role a women plays  in the dyad of  human existence.

when a #woman becomes mentally ill , services are sought infrequently and late. Rather she is blamed for the illness, The mentally ill woman may be socially  ostracized and abandoned by her husband and her own family. Hence,  being a "woman" and being "Mentally ill" is a dual curse.
