Women facing crisis The other side: Women also suffer from depression and suicide, though they often face different pressures.

Fern Kazlow, an integrative psychotherapist and founder of Integrative Therapy, said women are built for connection but are currently more isolated than ever while balancing conflicting roles and high expectations.

Warning sign intervention What you can do: Kazlow advises loved ones to ask direct, calm questions without arguing or dismissing feelings.

Anyone in need of immediate support can call or text the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988.

If you or a loved one is feeling distressed, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.

The crisis center provides free and confidential emotional support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to civilians and veterans.

If you or someone you know needs support now, call or text 988 or chat 988lifeline.org.
