Survey: 40% of depressed and anxious women

A survey that has questioned over 10,000 Australian women found that 40% of them have been diagnosed by depressed or anxious professionals.

The survey on women's health from the “The Jean Haile Womenʹs Health”, published this Sunday, also found that 60% of women do not meet the recommended 2.5 hours per week of physical activity, because many of them feel very tired “, or because they have extremely hard “to find time for training.

Two out of 5 women interviewed, of 18-89-year-old grumposha, considered themselves a little overweight, while 20% said they were completely overweight. Only a quarter had been checked for sexually transmitted infections in the last five years. The study also found that 95% of women were non-smoking.

The director of this survey, Helen Brown, said the findings have raised concern, especially about the state of health of young women.

The names between the ages of 18 and 35 have high levels, if not the highest, anxiety”, she said, which for this result blames technology and social media.

I think they cost them a lot of time and they put a lot of pressure on themselves to be a whole lot ready to show up on Instagram or other networks, which means that in most of the time, women are on their own phone and ready to publish photos”, Brown said.

The survey asked women what was troubling them over the past two weeks, and almost half of them agreed that “was highly concerned about things from a variety of times”.

More than 40% reported feeling anxious, nervous, and the limits of patience, while many said they were regularly upset or angry. Adding anxiety to women is also due to the overload of health information at their disposal “online”.
