So Delicate Yesterday
So delicate yesterday,
the nightsinging birds by the creek.
Their words were:
You may make
a jewellery flower
out of gold
and
rubies
and
emeralds,
but
it will have not
fragrance.

Far more women than men use primary care services for mental health problems, and one reason suggested is that women are more likely to report symptoms of common mental health problems. Rates of undiagnosed depression could be equally high in men, but evidence suggests that men are less likely to talk about their problems or consult a doctor about their mental health. By contrast, women are more likely to acknowledge their mental distress and to seek help.
Some mental disorders, such as depression, are more common among those living in poverty. Women are more likely to be poor because their jobs are likely to be lower paid, they are more likely to work part-time, to take time out of the labour market to bring up children, to be lone parents, and, because of their different working history, likely to receive a lower pension. This goes a long way to explain why rates of depression are higher in women.
Gender-based violence is strongly linked with mental health issues, including depression, anxiety and stress-related syndromes, substance misuse and suicide.
Up to 13 per cent of children experience sexual abuse, physical abuse, neglect, or disruption such as being in care, with slightly higher figures for girls than boys. One in four adult women experience IPV (domestic violence). IPV is defined as any incident of threatening behaviour, violence or abuse (psychological, physical, sexual, financial or emotional) between adults who are (or who have been) intimate partners or family members, regardless of gender or sexuality. This includes so-called ‘honour killings’ that are of concern in black and minority ethnic (BME) communities.
Women are much more likely than men to experience repeated and severe forms of IPV, although this is not always evident in statistical summaries such as Home Office studies, which may focus on single incidents rather than on repeated abuse. Women are also more likely to experience sexual abuse and violence, and their experience is more likely to have a long-lasting psychological/emotional impact or result in injury or death. In some cases, mental illness, such as schizophrenia, can increase the risk of IPV.
Experience of IPV can lead to feelings of guilt and shame, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, lack of confidence, vulnerability to abusive relationships, inability to trust people, anger, sexual difficulties and self-hate. Women can also experience physical symptoms related to abuse, such as abdominal pain, insomnia and headaches. Further, these problems can lead to the diagnosis of a wide range of mental disorders, including PTSD, BPD, self-harm, suicide (or suicide attempts), multiple personality disorder, mania, bulimia, eating disorders and substance abuse.
For some women, family life may contribute to mental distress. Many women have primary or sole care of children, and women are more likely than men to take on caring responsibilities (e.g. for older family members). Women also tend to work in part-time jobs, and are over-represented in low paid occupations and sectors such as teaching and care work. The low social status traditionally associated with domestic and caring work can damage feelings of self-worth, while the stresses of overwork, extensive responsibilities and feeling undervalued can damage women’s mental health. While the extent of gender-based disadvantages varies according to social class and ethnicity, it has been argued that women bear the brunt of reconciling paid work with family life.
Women who are mothers, or who want to have children, can experience particular barriers to the use of mental health services. They may avoid disclosing their problems for fear of losing custody of their children, leave hospital sooner than they otherwise would, in order to look after children, or find themselves unable to use services because of childcare commitments.
Childhood and adolescent mental health difficulties are strongly correlated with mental health problems in adulthood. Problems that are more likely to be diagnosed in women than men, such as eating disorders, BPD and self-harm, often start in teenage years or early adulthood.
Teenage girls and young women are at high risk for traumatic experiences such as sexual abuse, rape and domestic violence. As discussed above (‘Trauma, violence and abuse in childhood or adulthood’), girls who experience sexual or physical abuse are more likely to develop mental health problems later in life.
Issues around old age are particularly relevant to women’s mental health.
However, the higher rates of diagnosed mental health problems in older women may partly reflect the fact that women are, in general, more likely than men to acknowledge their distress and seek appropriate help.
Women in prison often have complex problems. A high proportion have had adverse childhood experiences, problems at school and poor employment records. Rates of mental disorder and substance abuse are high, and being in prison can increase women’s problems, as they may be separated from their children and social networks, and they may be victimised. Women in prison experience higher rates of mental disorder than women in the community or men in prison, and rates are higher still for remand prisoners. Rates of self-harm and suicide are high among women in prison.
Women in secure psychiatric hospitals are in a minority, but women are proportionately more likely than men to be sent to such hospitals for criminal behaviour, or transferred from another hospital because of a behavioural disorder. They have had similar adverse experiences growing up to women in prison generally, though fewer are mothers. Self-harm and substance abuse are common among this group.
Being a refugee or asylum seeker can be traumatic for both men and women, but particular experiences such as rape are more common among women. Women who are refugees or asylum seekers may arrive from traumatic situations to find themselves detained, which has been described as ‘retraumatisation’. They are physically examined, but are rarely asked if they are victims of torture; even if they are asked and the response is ‘yes’, often nothing is done.
Women in detention centres are almost inevitably depressed, having fled from their home countries, and having often been persecuted, tortured or raped, and are in fear of being deported back to the countries they have fled.
Women from BME groups in the UK may experience the dual impact of gender inequality within their family or community setting, and alienation from mental health services. The high levels of suicide and self-harm among young south Asian women are indications of this.
Specific groups of BME women are heavily represented in psychiatric diagnoses and service use; Pakistani and Bangladeshi women have higher rates of depression than both their male counterparts and White British women. Higher rates of psychosis (including bipolar disorder and schizophrenia) are diagnosed among Black Caribbean women than among women from other groups. It is argued that this may be partly because racism within society is reflected by racial stereotyping within mental health services. Many mental health service users from BME groups are also living in poverty, which is an important social factor in mental distress.
Lesbian and bisexual women tend to have higher rates of suicide, attempted suicide and suicidal thoughts, depression, anxiety and substance use disorders than heterosexual women. Such mental health issue may of course be unconnected with their sexuality, but there is evidence that social hostility, stigma and discrimination are contributing factors.

Assalamualykum to my dear readers with beautiful minds. Giving a thought to couple of recent events.
Having a great experience with human as we found lot of corrupt minds with a heart which is fake or been replaced by a Heart Surgeon, I think. As now a days Pigs heart seems to do the work very successfully. God bless the educated butchers. Why human lie so much to cover their arses. I will need a to put one post for this as well.
We see the human talk about spirituality they talk about relationships, finding themselves in a dilemma of chaos. When I use to write method statements for construction, we generally are very precise and to the point. Sometimes we to find discrepancy in the statements I must admit. But I guess I fail to understand why create a circle of liers or manipulative kind of people. I, myself always having a clear thought with a positive atitude experienced that you can see very clearly that he or she is Lying. But sometimes it makes me laugh when the other person thinks how clever I’m lolz. As I allow it to happen that’s why. I can stop it when ever I like either right at the start or carry on for a while and say that’s enough and say no more please. Sometimes when you listen to their rubbish and you think WTF and (just wanna say shutup, and say don’t pretend what you are not please be your self), most likely the behavior is very strange.
Also the disturbing behavior I discovered that they always described themselves or presant as victims. I call this a sickness of hearts. I’m not claiming to be the expert on the human behavior as I’m still learning and may learn always through different experiences. After all life is a big lesson with various chapters.
Once I did send my password to a guy by mistake which I didn’t even knew and that gentleman politely advise me to change it and shouldn’t do with others as it may misused. I admire that gentleman and see him as a good friend. And I do admit that there are good people in this world, no doubt but rare.
Life is too short to waste with well disturbed mentally individuals artist or drama actors. I pray for those individuals to get well soon. 🙂
The problem is within us, we have a tendency to keep our problems to ourselves. So how can our loved ones help us if they don’t know we need help? They may think you WANT to be alone. But the truth is we are loved. Perhaps, we just need to communicate better.
If we have a past with which we feel dissatisfied, then forget it, now.
Its helpful imagining a good positive thought or perhaps a (story) for our lives and believing in it. We should focus only on the moments or (time) when we achieved what we desired, and that strength will help us to get what we actually want.
Zahir 🙂

Truth …. !
In truth everything and everyone
Is a shadow of the Beloved,
And our seeking is His seeking
And our words are His words…
We search for Him here and there,
while looking right at Him.
Sitting by His side,
we ask:
‘O Beloved, where is the Beloved?’

Now You Are Just Somebody I Use To Know !
Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
I told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it’s an ache I still remember
You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end
Always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I’ll admit that I was glad that it was over
But you didn’t have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened
And that we were nothing
And I don’t even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
No you didn’t have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
I guess that I don’t need that though
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know
Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believing it was always something that I’d done
But I don’t wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn’t catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know
Somebody
I used to know
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know
Somebody
I used to know
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know
I used to know
That I used to know
I used to know
Somebody

Some Facts About Women’s Mental Health to (P 3)
Hormonal and reproductive changes can contribute to some mental health problems, and some diagnoses that women receive relate to aspects of their reproductive functions, including menstruation, pregnancy and childbirth, and menopause.
PREMENSTRUAL SYNDROME
Premenstrual hormonal changes have been linked to problems that can range from mild feelings of depression or irritation to, very rarely, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, characterised by anxiety, depression, insomnia, food cravings and feelings of being out of control.
PERINATAL MENTAL DISORDERS
Women are particularly vulnerable to mental health problems in the time just before and after childbirth – the perinatal period. The main types of mental health problem that arise are:
While pregnancy is widely believed to reduce depression, some studies have found that depression in pregnancy is more widespread than expected, especially in the third trimester.
‘Postnatal blues’ is a normal emotional change that occurs in up to 50 per cent of women after childbirth, and is thought to be linked to rapid changes in hormones. It is usually brief, although it is advised that women are monitored to ensure that this is not the start of postnatal depression.
Postnatal depression and puerperal psychosis are no different from depression or psychosis experienced at any other time. Some experts believe that giving birth acts as a major stress factor that can trigger the onset of these disorders in women who are predisposed to them. Postnatal depression can begin in the weeks following childbirth, or up to a year afterwards. The woman may feel low in mood and energy, worried about her child, and unable to sleep, or even have thoughts about abandoning or harming her child.
While 13–15 per cent of women experience postnatal depression, puerperal psychosis is much rarer, affecting only about 1 in 1000. It is a serious mental illness that can develop in a woman who has recently given birth, usually with no obvious cause. The baby may be healthy and wanted, and the birth is not unusually complicated. (See Mind’s booklet Understanding postnatal depression.)
For women who already have mental disorders, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, pregnancy can bring additional stress. Some women with bipolar disorder may experience a worsening of their symptoms during pregnancy and after the birth.
Further information on treatment and services for perinatal disorders is given later in this fact sheet.
SCHIZOPHRENIA AND BIPOLAR DISORDER
While there are no marked differences in the incidence of schizophrenia between the sexes, women tend to be older than men by three to six years when first diagnosed, often in their late 20s, and there is a further peak of onset in women after 45 years of age. There are also differences in the types of symptoms women experience and in rates of recovery. Researchers therefore recommend a gender-sensitive approach to the diagnosis and management of schizophrenia.
The type of bipolar disorder experienced by women is usually characterised by mild ‘hypomanic’ episodes, but with a greater burden of depression; researchers also recommend a gender-sensitive approach.
SUBSTANCE DEPENDENCE
Substance (drug and alcohol) dependence is more common in men but the experience of substance dependence is often different for women. Traditionally, a greater social stigma is attached to women who are dependent on illegal drugs or alcohol, which can lead them to hide their problems, and choose not to access health or social care services. Women who are lone parents are particularly likely to hide their problems through fear that they may lose custody of their children. In these situations, substance dependence and co-existing mental health problems are likely to become more severe over time, with serious consequences for a woman’s health and well being.
Women are more likely than men to become dependent on prescription medication, including antidepressants and tranquillisers (for anxiety or use as sleeping pills). This is partly because women are more frequently diagnosed with anxiety and depression and given medication to treat these conditions.
