According to a national mental health survey published in 2019, 65% of those with depression are female, while 53% are aged over 50.

A study of Chinese health statistics demonstrates a number of very unusual features in the mental health profiles of women e.g. that there are more completed suicides amongst women than men, and more women than men are diagnosed with schizophrenia, although psychiatric hospital beds are disproportionately occupied by men. This article examines how the social, economic and political environment impinge, at the macro-level, on access to health care and at the micro-level on the experience and interpretation of distress.
