Female Demographic in India
The leading cause of stress among females in India is often related to balancing multiple roles, including household responsibilities, work pressure, and societal expectations. Workplace stress combined with family obligations and gender discrimination contributes significantly. Using workplace mental health support like October's digital group sessions can help address this by providing tools for stress management and creating supportive work environments.
