DEPRESSION AMONG WORKING WOMEN

Abstract

The current review aims to evaluate the depression level among working women and working mothers. It also focuses on the stressors in the workplace and type of personality, attitude towards work, and coping strategies towards reducing depressive symptoms. Many of the studies have indicated that females experience more stress and depressive symptoms compared to men. Furthermore, this study reveals the association between work pressure and depressive symptoms. Working mothers are experiencing stress and depressive symptoms which are far different from a single woman could experience. In the line of personality, introverts have overtaken others in experiencing a lot of stress and depressive symptoms. Coping strategies like problem-focused and other active coping skills can help women to stay optimized and to build self-resilient characters on their own.
