Abstract:
This article stems from research conducted with four pregnant women and four health professionals. Feminist research methods using semi-structured qualitative interviews explored experiences of mental health support and education provided during the perinatal stage. This article outlines the themes the pregnant women identified as significant to their mental health during pregnancy then concludes with the researcher’s analysis of these areas. These themes highlight areas of perinatal care and social work practice that can impact the health of the mother, and therefore the child, in a preventat

Abstract:
The recent release of the Netflix series 13 Reasons Why, which focuses on the suicide of an adolescent girl, has been accompanied by a large amount of social commentary. However, most of this commentary focuses on the suicide itself and does not consider how the series constructs the root causes of suicide. In this brief article, we argue that from a feminist social work perspective, the series highlights a key root cause of mental health problems—sexual violence—and that the discussion of this violence has been woefully absent in the commentary on the series. To support this argument, we high

Abstract:
Adolescent mental health disorders have serious health and socioeconomic consequences and may persist into adulthood and affect future generations. They account for four of the top ten causes of DALYs among young people, with suicide as the main cause of adolescent mortality. New threats are constantly emerging and changing with urbanisation, social media, and armed conflicts. As a neglected area of public health, resources are needed to improve awareness and develop global research, policies and training. Stakeholder involvement and government commitment are also essential to address the gap between burden and resource allocation. Promotion and prevention at a community level, coordinated between different sectors, could help to foster youth resilience. Non-specialist mental healthcare provision is a promising approach in low-resource settings but must be adapted to local needs.

Abstract:
Females on the autism spectrum often face unique challenges in social-communication areas, sensory environments, mental health, physical health, gender-related issues and identity development. Autism tends to be less-recognized in females than in males. Anecdotal reports suggest that they may show more social interests and motivation, heightened emotion contagion or affective empathy, increased imagination, more friendships but with different quality, greater camouflaging of social difficulties, and different kinds of narrow interests. The diagnostic processes are independent of sex or gender, but they need to be optimized by taking into account influences from sex and gender (including gendered sociocultural contexts). Optimized support for young women on the autism spectrum is best based on the understanding of their characteristics, targeting resilience and person–environment fit, and taking into account the influences of gendered sociocultural contexts; this often involves not only skill-building and graded exposure for the individual, but more importantly, adjustments to the social and physical environments.

Abstract:
Migration affects women and men differently. A discrepancy between gender roles and expectations influence the challenges and coping in immigrants. In this chapter, the importance of understanding migration in a gender-sensitive manner is discussed. Women are likely to have higher rates of psychiatric disorders due to risk factors such as unfavourable socio-economic status, stigma, role burden, and adversities faced during migration. The chapter highlights the protective and risk factors for developing mental health problems in women migrants. Mental health problems in various migrants, such as international, internal, asylum seekers, and vulnerable groups of women such as women in the perinatal period, adolescents and young girls, and elderly women, are discussed. The need to initiate preventive measures before the process of migration and in addition to early detection and intervention for mental health problems by sensitive healthcare providers is emphasized.

Abstract:
This feminist arts-informed study investigates “depression” as transformation in the lives of young rural women in Nova Scotia, Canada. The author facilitated interviews and zine workshops with four young women who experienced severe depression in their early 20s and remain “angled toward it.” Drawing from Transformative Learning theory, the author asks: How does lived experience of severe psychic suffering affect the “habits of minds” (Mezirow, 1978) of young women? By doing so, the author responds to calls for adult education research on mental health and the intersections between women's emotions, bodies, transformative learning, and the arts. The author addresses the dearth of research on mental illness and transformation and offers preliminary implications for Transformative Learning theory.

Abstract:
The aim of this chapter is to examine young women’s experience of mental health problems during the perinatal period. We shall argue that women who were young at the time of their transition to parenthood are at elevated risk for perinatal depression, in their first and subsequent pregnancies. Evidence for the impact of perinatal depression on children’s development will be outlined, and we propose that the elevated rates of mental health problems among young mothers may partly account for the increased prevalence of adverse outcomes often seen among their children. However, for these young women and their offspring, the impact of perinatal depression may be compounded by many other social, psychological, and biological risk factors, and young women’s circumstances may exacerbate their own and their children’s difficulties. Therefore any clinical strategies regarding the identification and treatment of depression during the antenatal and postnatal months may need to take into account the age of women, with women bearing children earlier and later than the average presenting different challenges for health professionals. Across the industrialized nations the demographics of parenthood are changing, with both men and women first becoming parents at increasingly older ages (Bosch 1998; Martin et al. 2005; Ventura et al. 2001). In the UK for example, the average maternal age at first birth in 1971 was 23.7 years, compared to the present figure of 29.5 years (ONS 2012). Correspondingly, over the last four decades, birth rates for women aged 30 and over have increased extensively, whilst those for women in their teenage years and early twenties have declined (ONS 2012, 2007). Since the 1970s, the proportion of children born to women aged 20–24 in the UK has been decreasing, with women aged 30–34 years now displaying the highest birth rates (ONS 2010). These changes in the demography of parenthood are not confined to the UK with similar trends toward delayed first births observed across Western Europe (Ventura et al. 2001), the United States (Mirowsky 2002), New Zealand (Woodward et al. 2006) and Australia (Barnes 2003). Thus, a transition to parenthood during adolescence and the early 20s is non-normative for Western women, and the implications of this ‘off-time’ transition (Elder 1997, 1998) for the mother’s and the child’s mental health warrants attention.
