TENSION AND STRESS AMONG WOMEN IN MUMBAI METROPOLITAN AREAS

According to the WHO definition, someone is
considered healthy if they are both physically and
psychologically well. Studies show that women are
more likely than men to experience mental health
issues (Piccinelli & Homen, 1997). Going to work can
add stress and tension to a woman's life because of the
multiple roles she juggles as a mother, caretaker, and
homemaker. The Nielsen Company (2011) conducted
a study which found Indian women to be the world's
most stressed-out women. Stress can lead to cognitive
issues, which can compromise the immune system
(Mariotti, 2015). This study makes an effort to identify
the reasons of tension and stress among women
because it is common among women, particularly
Indian women. It also examines the women's access to
assistance, including any social or institutional support.
