According to the Mental Health Foundation, 20% of women suffer from mental health problems as opposed to 14% of men. For the first time, this problem is being addressed by the government in a report, Women's Mental Health: Into the Mainstream
Dr Kathryn Abel is a leading researcher at the Centre for Women's Health Research in Manchester. She believes that biology plays a crucial role in explaining this disparity. Dr Jenni Williams disagrees. She says that social factors are more important. They were both consulted during the compilation of the government report.
Jenni asks them why it is that women are more likely to suffer from mental illness than men.
