![]() Effective multidisciplinary participation, working with women, is essential to facilitate optimal international women's mental health. ![]() Strong gender perspectives should guide health policy and services, paying attention to how gender roles may enhance or damage health. Social, economic and cultural aspects must be addressed, as well as biological, for only by a change in society's attitudes, will women realize their full mental health. Consensus was that emphasis should be on health promotion, public health, health policy and broad determinants of health, rather than focusing solely on services. International experts from psychiatry, psychology, nursing, sociology, advocacy groups, and consumers highlighted the importance of the context of women's lives, poverty, education, autonomy, reproduction, relationships, violence, discrimination, infectious diseases, special populations and specific topics. To complement this, a workshop was convened at the Berlin Congress of Women's Mental Health. To clarify perspectives on women's mental health needs, services and policy, a survey was undertaken of the 54 World Psychiatric Association Section of Women's Mental Health members. A gender-based, social model of health needs to be adopted to investigate critical determinants of women's mental health with the overall objective of contributing to improved, more effective promotion of women's mental health. While there exists a huge gap between availability and accessibility of the health care services, various social, legal and ethical issues especially in respect of women with mental illness act as hindrance in the overall care and recovery of such women. Women's mental health needs to be considered in the context of social, political and economic realities. Women living in poor social and environmental circumstances with associated low education, low income and difficult family and marital relationships, are much more likely than other women to suffer from mental disorders. However, the multiple roles that they fulfill in society render them at greater risk of experiencing mental problems than others in the community. ![]() The power in this combination is what makes me passionate about helping others overcome theirs.Women are integral to all aspects of society.
