Too many young women avoid reporting their mental health issues due to fear they’ll be told they’re being “dramatic.”

Research commissioned by CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably) in the UK found women are often asked if they’re on their period when seeking medical help.

The survey, which was carried out by YouGov, asked more than 2,000 women aged 18-34 about their experiences surrounding a recent mental health crisis, such as panic attacks or depression.

The results were alarming, with 19% of women responding that they have tried to seek help amid a mental health crisis — to no avail: 27% were told their mood could be down to “hormones,” and 20% had been asked if they were “on their period.”

A whopping one in five were told they were being “dramatic,” about their situation, and 33% were asked if they were “overthinking things,” when seeking help.

The lack of care may have led to a large portion of suicides among young women, researchers suggested — noting that 79% of women aged 25 and under who have died by suicide had previously been assessed as “low risk.”

“Our research shows that even when they do speak up, young women’s feelings and symptoms are frequently dismissed and ignored – often disregarded as over-emotional, hormonal or attention-seeking,” Simon Gunning, CALM’s chief executive, told The Guardian. “These damaging preconceptions are leaving young women unheard and unsupported and lives are at risk like never before.”

Some of the leading factors of young women’s mental health included body image, loneliness, relationship issues, financial concerns and social media.

The study comes as depression rates have hit new peaks in the US, particularly among young adults and women, according to a Gallup poll released in May.

Earlier this year, around 5,000 adults were asked: “Has a doctor or nurse ever told you that you have depression?” and “Do you currently have or are you currently being treated for depression?”

34% of young adults aged 18-29 said that they have previously been diagnosed with depression, which is an increase of nearly 15% since 2012; meanwhile, the margin of those receiving treatment has only grown wider.

Gallup noted these rates are the highest recorded since the polling agency adopted this depression data-collecting method in 2015.
