Women’s Mental Health Care & Emotional Wellbeing Support in India

The emotions of a woman change as she goes through her life. Adolescence, early adulthood, marriage, motherhood, career development, menopause and healthy ageing are all times when emotional, physical and hormonal changes occur, which can impact on mental health. [1][4]

Sometimes, responsibilities in the family, work, relationships, parenting, hormonal changes and personal expectations are just too much for emotional equilibrium. Sometimes stress and emotional ups and downs are part of life, but when they are ongoing, they warrant an understanding and support and need a proper professional guidance. [1]

Good mental health is integral to women's health. Affects emotional balance, confidence, relationships, decision making, physical wellbeing and quality of life. Women's mental wellness enables them to cope with the changes of life and engage in healthy relationships with their own and others. [1]

Stress, anxiety and depression, hormonal changes, emotional changes during and after pregnancy, body image concerns, and relationship problems are common issues for many women. These concerns may build-up over time before becoming evident, affecting normal activities, family life or physical wellbeing. [1][2]

We at Manovaidya understand that there are many interconnected factors that affect women's mental health such as brain health, hormones, nutrition, sleep, lifestyle, emotional resilience, relationship, and overall physical wellbeing. We don't just want to deal with symptoms, we want to know the full emotional picture of each woman.

Under the leadership of a Mental Health Specialist and our Founder, Dr. Ankush Garg, we follow the Neuro-Ayurveda Development System which is a five-pillar system that takes into account a comprehensive evaluation, every step of guidance, and holistic emotional well-being support to enable women to navigate through all stages of their life with greater balance and confidence.

Women have different experiences of life and emotional wellbeing can be affected by a range of hormonal, personal, family, social and professional factors. [1]

Emotional wellbeing can vary across the different stages of life, due to hormonal changes, increased responsibilities and life experiences. Early identification of emotional issues can help women get the right support before they start to impact on their functioning and wellbeing in their everyday lives. [1][2][4]

Emotional, hormonal, physical, social and lifestyle factors have an impact on women's mental health. Women go through certain natural transitions during their lives such as menstruation, pregnancy, motherhood, career progression, menopause and age. Each stage has its own changes that may affect emotional health. [1][2][4]

It's not uncommon to feel overwhelmed during difficult life situations. If, however, the stress, anxiety, sadness or emotional change continues and is starting to impact on relationships, work, family or functioning then it needs attention and the proper professional guidance to do so. [1]

But supporting women's mental health is not just about emotional issues. It's about helping women to be tough and resilient, emotionally balanced, have self-confidence, and to have a good quality of life.

Each woman's emotional experience is different. Certain women will have emotional shifts in certain periods of their lives, and some women will have continuous emotional issues that need the help of a professional and the customised support provided by the woman. [1]
