Emerita Professor, Linda Gask, joins us to discuss has been happening to women, how are we failing them and what must we do?

Over the last decade, we've been rightly concerned about men's mental health. Men continue to take their own lives at 3 times the rate of women. However, women are suffering too, and the size and nature of the mental health problems and illness they experience seems to get lost beyond that desperate headline. Under a mental health policy that is largely 'gender-free' what has been happening to women? How are we failing them and what must we do?

Emerita Professor of liaison psychiatry, Linda Gask has spent her career researching and writing about how to improve quality of care for people with common mental health problems. As advisor to the World Health Organisation and winner of the President’s medal by the Royal College of Psychiatry, she works at the interface of mental & physical health services, in primary and specialist care. She has worked closely with staff at Manchester Centre for Health Psychology, and Primary care to design and deliver interventions for health professionals. Linda is also an award winning author and memoirist, bringing together her unique professional and personal experiences of mental health care, as a clinician, researcher and patient.
