"A survey by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) reported recently that almost two-thirds of women over 50 struggle with their mental health. Underlying factors included anxiety, sleep problems and bereavement, as well as the glaringly obvious: menopause."
"As a woman in midlife, you kind of lose yourself, says Dr Lisa Morrison, the BACP's director of professional standards, policy and research. Maybe because you feel invisible or you're putting yourself at the bottom of the list of family priorities."
Women aged 50 to 63 experience various life challenges, including menopause, caring for aging parents, and supporting adult children. A survey revealed that nearly two-thirds struggle with mental health issues, yet most have not sought help. Factors contributing to this crisis include anxiety, sleep problems, and bereavement. Despite being a generation with opportunities and feminist role models, many women feel lost and invisible, often prioritizing family needs over their own well-being.
