There is also an emerging body of literature on the ways in which chronic mental health problems develop differently in women and men, as well as research on the connections between women’s mental health status, biology, and women’s life cycle stages.

Multiple Roles And Women's Mental Health in Canada
|
|
This study examined NPHS data to further explore the moderating effects of different role combinations on women's mental health and to situate this analysis in a social context. To accomplish this the association between different role combinations and socio-economic status and the differences in women's stress, distress and chronic stress levels according to the various combinations of roles were examined. In terms of combinations of roles, there is mixed evidence as to the effects of various combinations on women's psychological well-being. Although more roles often protect mental health, certain combinations can also lead to strain.
