'It still is a barrier': Almost 40% of women feel 'lonely and isolated'
Some issues stood out as pushing women to need help with their mental health issues including fertility struggles and experiencing a miscarriage as well as perimenopause and to a lesser extent menopause.
Nearly two in five women feel “lonely and isolated” and only 8% think it is easy to access mental health services, an Irish Examiner Ipsos B+A survey has found.
These barriers remain despite almost half the women surveyed saying it is easier to talk about mental health challenges today than in the past.
