Abstract

For many years, women's mental health has been a topic of discussion in the research field, and these problems are usually regarded as the result of gender inequality. This study identifies mental health differences among women in different family structures in the context of a pandemic, by citing scenario-based research from 2020 to 2023. More specifically, by comparative analysis, disparities in a series of variables are observed between married and unmarried women. These findings figure out risk factors that tend to distress women. The literature review emphasizes the huge challenges confronting women today, and the root causes of the psychological differences between men and women that need further study, to help improve women's mental health.
