Poverty, Mental Health, and Women: Implications for Psychiatric Nurses in Primary Care Settings

Abstract

Poverty is one of the most consistent correlates of depression as well as other mental health disorders. Although poverty has negative health outcomes for men and women, the greater burden falls to women. Thus, the focus of this article is on the experiences of women and the complex intersection between the social and economic correlates of poverty and mental illness. A case study is presented that illustrates these intersections. The article concludes with suggestions to improve the mental health of poor women. J Am Psychiatr Nurses Assoc, 2007; 13(5), 267-274.
