Pandemic-induced depression and anxiety is widening the already stark mental health gender disparities, and race plays a significant role in who is most affected.
out of the University of Southern California found that, in two-adult, mixed-gender households, women in general were more likely to report psychological distress following the pandemic. But the burden was most pronounced for women with children.
Generally, research looks at mixed-gender, two-parent households. But that leaves out many other households. But what researchers stress is that, though the data doesn’t capture it, the same child care stressors do afflict single moms. About 23 percent of children live in households headed by a single mother, compared to 4 percent in a single-father household, according to data from theStephanie Guzman Ferran, who lives near San Diego, said navigating homeschooling has been perhaps the biggest single source of anxiety — and she has plenty to choose from.
The data is already bearing that out: The CDC’s mental health figures showed a significant increase in Black women’s rates of depression and anxiety starting on May 26 — the day after George Floyd’s death. The same spike didn’t appear for White, Asian or Latina women.
